Package: qemu-kvm Version: 0.12.5+dfsg-5+squeeze3 Severity: important When I try to boot multiple 2.6.32 kernels in KVM, one third of the times they will fail to boot.
They get stuck at 'Loading, please wait...', leaving CPU usage at 0% and non showing any message. I think it doesn't initialize IDE interface so it can not mount the root fs, but doesn't give any message about that. I have tried removing 'quiet' parameter to see more messages, but doesn't show nothing special (it echoes some about SCSI, but my machine uses IDE, so it's nothing special) To boot it, I have to virsh destroy && virsh start until it finally boots. Guest Kernel (alaways 2.6.32) combinations that I've tried: - Lenny + 2.6.32 from backports, installed in LVM - Squeeze with stock kernel, installed in LVM - Squeeze with stock kernel, installed on /dev/sda - Squeeze with custom latest longterm from kernel.org, installed on /dev/sda In the host I use a plain image file, I don't have obscure storage configurations. I'm using an AMD desktop machine with hardware virt. support, with updated Squeeze (stock amd64 kernel). I attach machine configuration file and VNC screenshot with last message it throws (I don't know how to get a text version). Thank you in advance.
