Package: kvm Version: 85+dfsg-4 Severity: normal
The following error message appears in my kernel log when KVM is started. kernel: [38893.518532] kvm: 916: cpu0 unhandled wrmsr: 0xc0010117 data 0 I am invoking kvm from a console with, for example kvm -cdrom image.iso -m 256 -curses -show-cursor -boot d For accessibility reasons, I need to work from the console - I can't use KVM inside X - it doesn't work with gnome-orca, and I prefer the console anyway. Having just started to use KVM, I don't know whether this error indicates serious problems. The guest operating system boots fine and runs; it just reports the above error in the process. -- Package-specific info: selected information from lshal(1): /proc/cpuinfo: processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5140 @ 2.33GHz stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 1998.000 cache size : 4096 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 0 initial apicid : 0 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm dca lahf_lm tpr_shadow bogomips : 4654.75 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: processor : 1 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5140 @ 2.33GHz stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 1998.000 cache size : 4096 KB physical id : 3 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 6 initial apicid : 6 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm dca lahf_lm tpr_shadow bogomips : 4655.34 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: processor : 2 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5140 @ 2.33GHz stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 1998.000 cache size : 4096 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 1 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 1 initial apicid : 1 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm dca lahf_lm tpr_shadow bogomips : 4655.34 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: processor : 3 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5140 @ 2.33GHz stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 1998.000 cache size : 4096 KB physical id : 3 siblings : 2 core id : 1 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 7 initial apicid : 7 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm dca lahf_lm tpr_shadow bogomips : 4655.34 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages kvm depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii bridge-utils 1.4-5 Utilities for configuring the Linu ii iproute 20090324-1 networking and traffic control too ii libasound2 1.0.20-2 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libbluetooth3 4.42-2 Library to use the BlueZ Linux Blu ii libbrlapi0.5 4.0-6 braille display access via BRLTTY ii libc6 2.9-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgnutls26 2.6.6-1 the GNU TLS library -
