Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kvm
Hello,
I'm using a 32 bit Hardy 8.04 desktop with an Intel Core2Quad processor, and
I've come across a problem with KVM.
VT is enabled in my computer's BIOS, and the kvm modules are loaded:
$ lsmod | grep kvm
kvm_intel 36032 1
kvm 115252 1 kvm_intel
I am able to create a new Ubuntu Hardy guest using KVM, and it works
very well.
If I try to create other guests based on Red Hat or Solaris, then guest runs
extremely slowly and eventually hangs. I've tried a CentOS 5 guest install
several times now. With each install, I've been booting the guest from a local
DVD ISO file. The guest does boot the iso, but runs extremely slowly. I left a
CentOS 5 guest install running for 18 hours now... during that time, I still
haven't made it to anaconda. So far, I've only made it past the text based
media check used by RHEL.
Same with Solaris - the guest hangs right after the installer starts.
I've attached a screenshot of Console 4 output inside a CentOS 5 guest
during install. If I left this running overnight, the "DSC: timeout"
messages would stack up and fill the screen. Console 1 will simply be
frozen at "Starting anaconda..."
During these very slow guest installs and hangs, guest CPU utilization
is about 1%, and the host CPU utilization has been very low as well.
Pleas let me know what other info I can provide.
Thanks!
