Pretty much the latest git version for testing purposes. I just re-tried with vanilla kvm-73, and after disabling vmport_init() and hardcoding the CPU model_id I get the same error/problem.

Booting ESXi from within KVM
Having given up getting normal ESX booting from within KVM, I thought i'd give ESXi a go. PXE booting the hypervisor image outside of KVM I have working fine. When trying within KVM i had a few issues: The 'vmport' breaks ESXi, so for now I commented out vmport_init(); Then it complains about the CPU model_id, so I copy pasted it from my host. Now it gives an error that I don't quite understand: No pages allocated to Node 0 -- big mismatch between BIOS and SRAT memory maps, or MTRR error, or user removed all memory from a Node. Try checking memory or upgrading BIOS. I've tried removing some of the reported CPU capabilities (e.g. MTRR) from qemu/target-i386/helper.c, but unsure if that makes any difference. Command line: qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -std-vga -boot n -net nic -net tap -curses -k en-gb -localtime (Have tried a few including with/without ACPI) I've hardcoded the model_id to be "AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+" (the host). Using an (almost) up to date kvm-userspace.git and its kvm kernel. How can I try to debug what ESXi is trying to ask for? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
