Date: Sun, 02 Nov 2008 23:17:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <490E26F9.7070506@toptarif.de> (raw)

hi kvm-list,

i am testing kvm for some days now but i cannot get it really working.

setup:
- host running gentoo 2.6.25-gentoo-r8
- core2duo T5600
- kvm-77
- guest gentoo2008 minimal iso

command:
kvm -cdrom install-x86-minimal-2008.0.iso -hda gentoo-i686.img -m 512M 
-curses

problem:
the qemu-bios does not boot up and does not respond to f12 or any other key.

further tests:
disabling kvm either through disabling access to "/dev/kvm" or using the 
"-no-kvm" boots up fine.
kvm -cdrom install-x86-minimal-2008.0.iso -hda gentoo-i686.img -m 512M 
-curses -no-kvm


any help would be really appreciated.


regards
jan
