Ignore my previous post. It worked because I didn't load the kvm_intel module. (I should have been tipped off by the fact that it was so slow).
with kvm_intel loaded, pae host + non-pae guest: boots in about 5 seconds (up to the login prompt) pae host + pae guest: doesn't start up (hangs right after the grub prompt) non-pae host + non-pae guest: boots in about 5 seconds (up to the login prompt) non-pae host + pae guest: doesn't start up (hangs right after the grub prompt) So for my system, the problem occurs when the guest tries to boot a pae kernel. The host kernel doesn't make any difference. It's not clear to me if (and how) you instruct vmbuilder to build a vm with a non-pae kernel (but that's not really relevant for this bug) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to kvm in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/681141 Title: kvm 1.84 hangs (host 32 bit meerkat, guest created by vmbuilder) -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
