Hi all,
I use "ubuntu hardy" but I dont think the problem is specific to the
distribution I use.
I installed KVM and libvirt as described here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM
Following that method, created a domain, which dumps like this:
<domain type='qemu' id='1'>
<name>xp1</name>
...
</domain>
Launching the guest is OK, but it is as slow as if I directly launched
$ qemu [options]
I tried to launch:
$ kvm [options]
and it is much faster
My conclusion is that method on the Ubuntu documentation launches a qemu
without the use of kvm.
I modified that XML dump, changing "qemu" with "kvm":
<domain type='kvm' id='1'>
<name>xp1</name>
...
</domain>
I undefined the domain "xp1" and re-defined it with that new XML file.
When I start the new defined domain:
virsh # start xp1
libvir: QEMU error : QEMU quit during console startup
qemu: unknowm parameter 'boot' in \
'file=/home/mihamina/xpjohnny.iso,if=ide,media=cdrom,boot=on'
error: Failed to start domain xp1
It's a Windows XP domain.
My conclusion is:
- When domain type is "qemu", qemu is called a certain way, without
syntax error
- When domain type is "kvm", qemu/kvm is not called the same way and
among that, there are syntax errors.
How to confirm my conclusion?
What to check if it's the case?
I already filed a bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/252916
but they seem not to have idea of the problem.
