Category: intel Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Erik van der Kouwe (erikvdk) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: MINIX 3.1.6 works in QEMU-0.12.3 only with KVM disabled Initial Comment: Dear all, If one runs the following commands after installing qemu-0.12.3 or qemu-kvm-0.12.3: wget http://www.minix3.org/download/minix_R3.1.6-r6084.iso.bz2 bunzip2 minix_R3.1.6-r6084.iso.bz2 qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom minix_R3.1.6-r6084.iso -enable-kvm and presses 1 (Regular MINIX 3), the following error message results when loading MINIX: kvm: unhandled exit 80000021 kvm_run returned -22 The guest stops after that. This error message does not occur without the -enable-kvm switch. It does not occur with qemu-kvm-0.11.0 as bundled with Ubuntu. The problem occurs with the "qemu" binary from qemu-0.12.3 as well as "qemu-system-x86_64" from qemu-kvm-0.12.3, but in the former case no error message is printed. The code that is running when it fails is in https://gforge.cs.vu.nl/gf/project/minix/scmsvn/?action=browse&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fsrc%2Fboot%2Fboothead.s&revision=5918&view=markup. It happens in ext_copy: ext_copy: mov x_dst_desc+2, ax movb x_dst_desc+4, dl ! Set base of destination segment mov ax, 8(bp) mov dx, 10(bp) mov x_src_desc+2, ax movb x_src_desc+4, dl ! Set base of source segment mov si, #x_gdt ! es:si = global descriptor table shr cx, #1 ! Words to move movb ah, #0x87 ! Code for extended memory move int 0x15 The line that fails is "int 0x15", which performs a BIOS call to copy data from low memory to above the 1MB barrier. The machine is running in 16-bit real mode when this code is executed.
