Hi,
I am using Ubuntu Hardy up to date.
When defining a domain with:
domain type='kvm' id='1'

disk type='file' device='disk'
source file='/home/mihamina/xp.img'/
target dev='hda' bus='ide'/
/disk
interface type='bridge'
mac address='00:16:3e:1e:b2:22'/
source bridge='br0'/
target dev='vnet1'/
/interface
input type='tablet' bus='usb'/
input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/
graphics type='vnc' port='5900' listen='127.0.0.1'/
/devices
/domain
I get:
virsh # start xp
libvir: QEMU error : QEMU quit during console startup
qemu: unknowm parameter 'boot' in
'file=/home/mihamina/xp.img,if=ide,boot=on'
error: Failed to start domain xp
If I change the domain type with qemu, I have no error (and the
virtual machine starts without any problem.
This is my installed things:
$ dpkg -l | awk '/(virt|qemu|kvm)/{print $2,$3}'
kvm 1:62+dfsg-0ubuntu8
libvirt-bin 0.4.0-2ubuntu8
libvirt0 0.4.0-2ubuntu8
python-libvirt 0.4.0-2ubuntu8
python-virtinst 0.300.2-0ubuntu6
python-virtkey 0.50ubuntu0.1
qemu 0.9.1-1ubuntu1
virt-manager 0.5.3-0ubuntu10
virt-viewer 0.0.2-1ubuntu1
Is it an upstream bug or a distribution bug?
Who is supposed to be noticed? The packager or the upstream (where please)?

Re: [Libvir] PATCH: Support serial parallel devices in QEMU driver
Quoting Daniel P. Berrange [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Cool stuff. I've not read the patch because it's quite big but I've got a couple of questions: - Run a TCP server and wait for clients to connect, using telnet protocol over wire: serial type='tcp' source mode='bind' host='127.0.0.1' service='' wiremode='telnet'/ target port='0'/ /serial - Run a TCP client connecting to a remote host to send data in raw format: serial type='tcp' source mode='connect' host='127.0.0.1' service='' wiremode='raw'/ target port='0'/ /serial 1) Is any of those two an implementation of RFC 2217? (Telnet Com Port Control Option) 2) Will all this serial port flavors be available for all drivers (qemu, kvm, xen, etc) or will they all be available for Xen, then only some for the other drivers?

Re: [Libvir] modele1000/model - Specifying model in XML Configs

I know redhat have changed KVM's default driver to e1000, which I think is the one I like the most and almost if not all of my VMs use. Ubuntu haven't done that yet however! Is there a model directive in the latest version? In the works? Just so I know which solution I should pursue (updating libvirt or harassing ubuntu to change the default) There isn't a way to select the model, but there ought to be. In KVM 64 the following NIC models are supported: i82551 i82557b i82559er ne2k_pci pcnet rtl8139 e1000 virtio Part of the problem with implementing this will be validating the model (unless we just pass the model string directly to qemu which could lead to errors). The documentation suggests running qemu with '-net nic,model=?' to list the models, and there is code in qemu/hw/pci.c to implement this, but it just doesn't work for me. $ qemu-kvm -net nic,model=?

Re: [Libvir] [PATCH] Allow selection of the NIC model in QEMU/KVM
Quoting Richard W.M. Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED]: This patch allows selection of the NIC model for QEMU/KVM domains. The selection is done by adding a model/ element to the XML, as in this example: interface type='user' mac address='00:16:3e:33:b8:d3'/ model type='ne2k_pci'/ /interface The model type string is only checked to make sure it's a short alpha-numeric + underscore, since it seems impractical to extract the actual list of supported models. I've found how to get the list of supported models: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ kvm -net nic,model=? -hda '' Warning: vlan 0 is not connected to host network qemu: Supported ISA NICs: ne2k_isa qemu: Supported PCI NICs: i82551 i82557b i82559er ne2k_pci pcnet rtl8139 e1000 virtio If you choose a supported model then QEMU starts up with this extra -nic parameter: /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -M pc -m 500 -smp 1 -monitor pty \ -boot c -hda /var/lib/xen/images/rhel51x32kvm.img \ -net nic,macaddr=00:16:3e:33:b8:d3,vlan=0,model=ne2k_pci -net user,vlan=0 \ -usb -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 If you choose a non-existant model then you get the error: libvir: QEMU error : internal error QEMU quit during monitor startup -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer) -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
