Hi Dor, Sorry for the delay, here's the netConsole dump. This is trying to boot FC6 on Scientific Linux 5. Let me know if you need more info. This is with kvm-50 with the flag -no-kvm-irqchip.

Common configuration errors I've encountered (made): - Firewall on Machine B - Wrong MAC for Machine B (typo) - eth0 on Machine A was not used - They were not on the same subnet. I'd verify with tcpdump that packets are indeed being sent & received. Use 'tcpdump -i eth0 -n port 12345' to catch those packets.

For the command /sbin/modprobe netconsole netconsole=@/eth0,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/00:E0:81:2B:0C:C1 do both the IP and MAC have to be set to the listening machine? And to be clear - the nc listener is a machine on the same LAN? Thanks, Cam - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

It isn't 2.6.24-rc, or kvm.git, or 2.6.23? Anyway, removing guest tlb flushing won't be good for the guest. -- Any sufficiently difficult bug is indistinguishable from a feature. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

On some hosts kvm-amd hangs, and some guests (Windows XP w/ ACPI HAL) it is unstable, but other hosts and workloads are stable. -- Any sufficiently difficult bug is indistinguishable from a feature. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

With x2 stepping G1 and with the below two fixes applied on top of kvm and kvm-userland at least the host is certainly solid for me (the opensuse 10.3 guest seems ok too).

Re: [kvm-devel] Starting a VM reboots my machine
Cam: KVM-AMD is unstable now, unless you're a developer, I would suggest you to downgrade to KVM-36, which was the latest AMD-friendly version. We're working on a fix. Dor: kvm-amd crashes host, without leaving any netconsole messages. -Alexey - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Hi Dor, I tried to hunt on my own, but I can't find much on netconsole set up. Do you have any tips or links for setting up netconsole? I'm running Scientific Linux (a RHEL5 clone).

These is a slight chance that kvm-49 and -no-kvm-irqchip will help. Dor. Thanks, Cam - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.
