[Bug 220419] Re: Bad interactions with kvm and vmware (CPU left in VMX root mode?)
i had the same problem, but the problem didn't show up until i rebooted after installing KVM. I am using an intel q6600 6 gb ram ubunutu 8.04 64 bit, VMware server 1,07. as soon as i start a VM in VMware, mouse and keyboard freezes, 1 or 2 CPU's go to 100% and stay there, network connectivity is immediately lost but system monitor still updates for several minutes before that freezes as well. Maybe this is more of a bug for VMWare, but i thought i would post here because it happens to break when i installed kvm, and is working after kvm is removed. -- Bad interactions with kvm and vmware (CPU left in VMX root mode?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220419 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I had the same problem, I have disabled virtualization in the BIOS and then VMware is working properly. -- Bad interactions with kvm and vmware (CPU left in VMX root mode?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220419 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I got the same problem in Ubuntu 8.04.1 amd64 on MacBook4,1. after removing the kvm module it works fine. -- Bad interactions with kvm and vmware (CPU left in VMX root mode?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220419 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 220419] Re: Bad interactions with kvm and vmware (CPU left in VMX root mode?)
I can confirm this bug on my Dell Latitude D830 with Intel T7700 with Ubuntu 8.04.1 running a 32 bit 2.6.24-19-generic kernel. I have kvm and VMware Server (1.0.6 build-91891) installed. Ubuntu totally freezes up without any logging when starting up a Solaris 10 image in VMware Server. When I stop kvm manually and then startup the same VMware image, there is no problem at all. This kvm bug is easily reproducible. ** Changed in: kvm (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- Bad interactions with kvm and vmware (CPU left in VMX root mode?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220419 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 220419] Re: Bad interactions with kvm and vmware (CPU left in VMX root mode?)
This sounds EXACTLY life the problem I had in Hardy 8.04.1 . On an HP 6910p laptop with ATI video controller. Did a fresh vanilla install. Installed VMWare 1.0.6 such that I could put windows XP on machine as a guest. The initial install worked well and didn't seem to be a problem. I must have installed something either in the VM Guest (XP) or on the Host Ubuntu, because the kernel panic was reproducible and constant. Five minutes after booting the guest OS, hard machine lock up. Causes me to go back to Gutsy. Maybe I'll tool around in the forums again to see if I find a solution. -- Bad interactions with kvm and vmware (CPU left in VMX root mode?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220419 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 220419] Re: Bad interactions with kvm and vmware (CPU left in VMX root mode?)
Confirmed on my system with Hardy 8.04 on a T9300 Intel core duo CPU, kernel 2.6.24-17-generic (64 bit), KVM 1:62+dfsg-0ubuntu7, vmware-server 1.05 build-80187. Ubuntu freezes totally - you can't even ssh in from another PC. I'd say the bugfix should be high priority because of its nature (ie it freezes the entire machine, requiring a hard reset and causing data loss for any open files and potentially data corruption for files being written - Linux isn't supposed to ever do this!). -- Bad interactions with kvm and vmware (CPU left in VMX root mode?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220419 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 220419] Re: Bad interactions with kvm and vmware (CPU left in VMX root mode?)
I've got exactly the same problem. Machine setup is Kubuntu Hardy 8.04 default install, VMplayer 2.0.3-80004 default install. (kernel 2.6.24-16-generic x86_64 GNU/Linux; machine has Intel E6750, 5GB RAM and Nvidia 6300 graphics card.) Kernel module kvm_intel loads at boot time. Starting VMplayer runs it for a bit and then the machine freezes and mouse and keyboard lock up. The only way to recover is a hard reset. I manually disabled the kvm boot script to avoid loading the kvm_intel module, and VMplayer worked ok. Loading kvm_intel manually and starting VMplayer reliably freezes the machine. The last log entry in /var/log/messages is: May 3 21:32:24 kernel: [ 5233.637595] VMBlock warning: DentryOpRevalidate: invalid args from kernel It may or may not be related, but googling for it got me to this buglist. The impact is serious since VMplayer's DirectX 9.0c support in Windows works quite well and KVM (nice for all sorts of experiments and specialized virtual machines with Linux) cannot co-exist with this bug present.
