Fail to create disk.img

[Stephen Liu <satimis@yahoo.com>]

Hi folks,


Ubuntu 8.04 server amd64 - host - headless (w/o X packages)
Ubuntu 6.06 server amd64 - guest - headless (w/o X packages)
KVM


Previously I ran;


# qemu-img create -f qcow2 disk.img 10G

then

# kvm -hda disk.img -cdrom /dev/scd0 -m 512 -boot d

to create a working disk.img.  It works on the VM.


But I couldn't create direct on running;

# kvm -hda disk.img -cdrom /dev/scd0 -m 512 -boot d


must be in 2 steps.



Now I tried creating another disk.img but the above steps did not work.


# qemu-img create -f qcow2 ubuntu6.06_080805.img 10G
Formatting 'ubuntu6.06_080805.img', fmt=qcow2, size=10485760 kB


# kvm -hdb ubuntu6.06_080805.img -cdrom /dev/scd0 -m 512 -boot d -smp 2

without "-smp 2" still the same.


I don't know what mistake I have committed.  I didn't done anything on
the host except running apt-get update/upgrade.  Please advise.


TIA
