Subject: AMD XP Problem solved
Date: Sun, 12 Aug 2007 19:20:08 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <46BFA3B8.80200@math.uiuc.edu> (raw)
A while back I reported a crash starting with kvm-29 with Windows XP guest
on AMD processors.
kvm-33 still fails for me, so I tried to use the kvm git kernel module,
(after using make sync LINUX=../../kvm.git from kvm-33 directory), but the
compile fails with (on the 2.6.20 ubuntu feisty kernel)
/home/john/software/kvm/kvm-33/kernel/kvm.h:302: error: field
‘preempt_notifier’ has incomplete type
So I switched the kvm branch to "for-linus" and did a make sync. This
compiles and runs, but Windows XP still crashes.
Then I notice that bac27d35cbbf7c641efcc75b5330df8717d6db65 shows up in
linus's tree, but not in the for-linus kvm branch.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=bac27d35cbbf7c641efcc75b5330df8717d6db65
So applying that small patch on top of the for-linus kvm branch, and then
doing make sync from kvm-33, the windows XP guest boots up and works fine.
It would be nice to get a kvm-34 that includes this (and the other changes)
John
