[Qemu-devel] [Bug 882997] Re: 64-bit linux guests fail to start on oneiric running 3.0 kernel

[Klaus Rennecke]

1. Trying to break it:
 Installed the SLES-11-SP1 with the parameters for SLES-10 causing it to use 
IDE disk instead of virtio.
 Runs fine though, IDE seems not to be the problem.

2. Trying to fix it:
 Compiled from the sources: commit da5361cc685c004d8bb4e7c5e7b3a52c7aca2c56 Mon 
Dec 12 17:21:34 2011 +0100
 Had to copy the executable to /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 moving aside the 
original first. Libvirt would not pick it up from a soft link, apparently 
failing in trying to auto-sense the version. Strange but inconsequential for 
the issue at hand.
 Crashes nicely now:

Title:
  64-bit linux guests fail to start on oneiric running 3.0 kernel

Status in QEMU:
  New
Status in “qemu-kvm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Host: Ubuntu 11.10 kernel vmlinuz-3.0.0-12-generic or vmlinuz-3.0.0-12-server 
on AMD Athlon(tm) II P360 Dual-Core
  Guests: SLES 10 or 11, all 64 bit

  32 bit windows guest starts fine. All 64 bit linux guests loop during
  boot, when GRUB is starting. VMs are managed using libvirt
  0.9.2-4ubuntu15 and virt-manager 0.9.0.

  Log file shows:
   KVM internal error. Suberror: 1
   emulation failure

  repeated for each GRUB attempt.

  Starting the same host with vmlinuz-2.6.38-11-generic makes all VMs run OK.
