I have now built the kernel from source (with the server config). It crashes on KVM with -cpu host on a AMD Magny-Cours or with -cpu phenom,model=9 on every AMD box with 2.6.31-21-server_2.6.31-21.59. After having applied the mentioned patch (from 2.6.32.12: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel

OK, I found the binary .debs myself on the page with the source packages. I tested linux-image-2.6.32-22-{generic,server,virtual}_2.6.32-22.33_amd64.deb, all three were crashing. linux-image-2.6.31-21-server_2.6.31-21.59_amd64.deb from karmic in contrast is working fine. >From earlier tests I kno

I tested the kernel from the netinst mini.iso. It is still affected. How to reproduce: 1. Install KVM (userspace tools) 2. load KVM kernel modules (modprobe kvm-amd or kvm-intel) 3. Lauch KVM with a kernel: $ kvm -kernel /boot/vmlinuz -append "console=ttyS0,115200n8" -m 1G -cpu phenom,model=9 -ser

Hi Andre, you should be able to find the latest Deb packages here: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+publishinghistory. These are the built kernels for the releases. The other link in my previous was the upstream kernel information or as we refer to them the 'mainline' kernels

All right, Sorry for wasting your time. I can confirm that Ubuntu works great as a Xen guest using the current (2.6.32-21) on my Magny-Cours system. It's all fine. :-) Thanks, - a8 -- kernel crash under KVM when on AMD Magny-Cours https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/556480 You received this bug n

Hi all, OK - in conclusion one cannot boot Lucid in a KVM/Xen guest on a AMD Magny-Cours system. That's sad. I'll try the mentioned patch and report if it fixed the problem. - a8 -- kernel crash under KVM when on AMD Magny-Cours https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/556480 You received this bug noti

Frank, good observation, that should be the same thing in Xen. Here it is even worse, as by default Xen always injects the host's CPUID into the guest, so it will trigger every time you start it as a Xen guest (on every Xen host OS) The bad part of it is that you can hardly patch the guest's kern

Hi, I'm not 100% sure if this bug also triggers Xen guests to crash. Looks quite similar though. I tried to boot Lucid from the ISO as a Xen guest on a brand new Magny-Cours system. Would be quite disappointing if I could not run Xen or KVM Lucid guests. @Andre: Do you think that bug also trigger
