Re: Boot Problem (and fix)
Can you try modules from older versions (keeping userspace and the bios) to see which version introduced the fix? Keeping userspace and bios, versions 71 and up are fixed... 70 is broken. -- 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

The HLT instruction jumped directly to the done label and skips updating the EIP value, therefore causing the guest to spin endlessly on the same instruction. The patch changes the instruction so that it writes back the updated EIP value.

Re: Boot Problem (and fix)
What are the parameters you use to launch your guests (memory size, smp)? Nothing special. kvm disk.img is enough to freeze the VM. Memory, smp, etc can all be changed with no effect. The only parameter that allows me to boot is -no-kvm As I stated before, everything is normal with an older bios image.

Please post what 'info registers' and 'x/40b $eip' produce on the
monitor ('-monitor stdio' helps).

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
