Public bug reported: I'm attempting to use virt-manager to create a Windows XP VM. This worked previously but for some reason does not anymore (as of this weekend). The problem may be related to libvirtd though because it happens when trying to create the VM from the command line.
Version: Ubuntu 8.04 x86_64 Desktop, with latest updates. When trying to create the VM in either virt-manager or using virsh create xmlfile.xml there is no output or error, output from virsh says "creating" fine then exits as if it were successful but the domU is not running. Here's an excerpt from the log in /var/log/libvirt/qemu: /usr/bin/kvm -M pc -m 512 -smp 1 -monitor pty -no-acpi -drive file=/store/software/windows/xp.iso,if=ide,media=cdrom,boot=on -drive file=/dev/mapper/vg-xp_lv1,if=ide -net nic,macaddr=00:16:3e:6f:b6:4d,vlan=0 -net tap,fd=12,script=,vlan=0 -usb -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 char device redirected to /dev/pts/5 exception 13 (33) rax 00000000000082ff rbx 0000000000005f06 rcx 0000000000005f88 rdx 000000000000fdb8 rsi 00000000ffff1909 rdi 000000000008fdef rsp 00000000000003eb rbp 000000000000d632 r8 0000000000000000 r9 0000000000000000 r10 0000000000000000 r11 0000000000000000 r12 0000000000000000 r13 0000000000000000 r14 0000000000000000 r15 0000000000000000 rip 0000000000000003 rflags 00033482 cs 0000 (00000000/0000ffff p 1 dpl 3 db 0 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 0 avl 0) ds 0002 (00000020/0000ffff p 1 dpl 3 db 0 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 0 avl 0) es fdbb (000fdbb0/0000ffff p 1 dpl 3 db 0 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 0 avl 0) ss 0000 (00000000/0000ffff p 1 dpl 3 db 0 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 0 avl 0) fs 0000 (00000000/0000ffff p 1 dpl 3 db 0 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 0 avl 0) gs 0000 (00000000/0000ffff p 1 dpl 3 db 0 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 0 avl 0) tr 0000 (fffbd000/00002088 p 1 dpl 0 db 0 s 0 type b l 0 g 0 avl 0) ldt 0000 (00000000/0000ffff p 1 dpl 0 db 0 s 0 type 2 l 0 g 0 avl 0) gdt fb1f2/30 idt 0/3ff cr0 10 cr2 0 cr3 0 cr4 0 cr8 0 efer 0 code: 5f ff 00 --> f0 53 ff 00 f0 53 ff 00 f0 53 ff 00 f0 53 ff 00 f0 53 ff 00 f0 53 ff 00 f0 53 ff 00 f0 88 d6 77 67 88 e9 00 f0 53 ff 00 f0 53 ff 00 f0 53 ff ** Affects: virt-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Cannot create Windows VM using virsh or virt-manager with KVM https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231878 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
