Hi, I'm running a Squeeze 64bit box with ubuntu 10.4 64bit guest and a Windows XP 32 bit guest. I'm using libvirt for managing.
The second one hangs up randomly causing one cpu of the host system to stay at 100% load. Randomly means 1-2 times a day :-(. I've searched the net but the only useful thing I found was this bugreport and: http://www.mail-archive.com/kvm-de...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg15009.html and someone obviously having the same problem: http://serverfault.com/questions/149098/how-do-i-run-a-stable-windows-xp-kvm- guest-on-ubuntu-10-04 My setup: qemu-kvm: Architecture: amd64 Version: 0.12.4+dfsg-1 libvirt-bin: Architecture: amd64 Source: libvirt (0.8.1-2) Version: 0.8.1-2+b1 kvm commandline of the XP guest: /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc-0.12 -cpu qemu32 -enable-kvm -m 512 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name virtxp -uuid 012f9c55-3620-70af-9bda-620ce8b599ab -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/virtxp.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=monitor,mode=readline -rtc base=utc -boot c -drive file=/home/tilo/Downloads/isos/grml_2010.04.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive- ide0-1-0,readonly=on -device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive- ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0 -drive file=/dev/vol1/virtxp,if=none,id=drive-virtio- disk0,boot=on -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5,drive=drive-virtio- disk0,id=virtio-disk0 -device virtio-net- pci,vlan=0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:90:1e:d4,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -net tap,fd=42,vlan=0,name=hostnet0 -usb -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -vnc 127.0.0.1:1 -k de -vga vmware -device virtio-balloon- pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 After writing I will try to use the standard drivers for ethernet and display. I had this problem also before switching to virtio drivers ... But I will try. Please let me know what further information you need.
