Thanks, Balau. Proceeding with SRU request. ** Description changed:
+ ====================================================== + SRU Justification: + 1. Impact of bug: qemu segfaults when emulating some arm architectures, unless '-m X' (for some low X) is specified. + 2. How was the bug addressed: a patch is added which lowers the default RAM size for ARM architectures. + 3. Patch: See the linked sources trees (for lucid and maverick) + 4. TEST CASE: 'qemu-system-arm -M versatileab -kernel zImage + 5. Regression potential: if there are users whose arm systems require a larger RAM size, they could experience regressions without specifying '-m 356'. This is very unlikely. + ====================================================== Binary package hint: qemu-kvm The following commands close immediately with segmentation fault: qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -kernel zImage qemu-system-arm -M versatileab -kernel zImage The following does not cause segmentation fault: qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -kernel zImage -m 128M qemu-system-arm -M versatileab -kernel zImage -m 128M zImage is a linux kernel image for ARM that worked with previous versions of qemu-system-arm, but the error is independent from the -kernel option, because it segfaults using any file. The option -m 128M should be the default, and in older versions it worked the same with and without it. --- Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 KvmCmdLine: Error: command ['ps', '-C', 'kvm', '-F'] failed with exit code 1: UID PID PPID C SZ RSS PSR STIME TTY TIME CMD MachineType: System manufacturer System Product Name NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: qemu-kvm 0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-root ro quiet splash ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-22.33-generic 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 Tags: lucid Uname: Linux 2.6.32-22-generic i686 UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare svnusers dmi.bios.date: 10/20/2006 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 0804 dmi.board.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.board.name: P5B-Deluxe dmi.board.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC. dmi.board.version: Rev 1.xx dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Asset-1234567890 dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: Chassis Manufacture dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr0804:bd10/20/2006:svnSystemmanufacturer:pnSystemProductName:pvrSystemVersion:rvnASUSTeKComputerINC.:rnP5B-Deluxe:rvrRev1.xx:cvnChassisManufacture:ct3:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.name: System Product Name dmi.product.version: System Version dmi.sys.vendor: System manufacturer -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/584480 Title: qemu-system-arm segfaults emulating versatile machine -- 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
