Subject: kvm-85rc5 Segmentation fault for  m >= 2046 GB
Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2009 18:14:12 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1239574452.3950.37.camel@falcon> (raw)

Required info:
 Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
 kvm version kvm-85rc5 seg faults (rc[13] fine; rc[24]?)
 Host kernel version: 2.6.29.1 SMP x86_64 (on Fedora 10)
 Guest: Fedora 11 beta x86_64 (host and guest updated)
 qemu cmd line:
  /usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 fc11Beta.img -m 2048 &
 Problem still present with either of -no-kvm-irqchip or
    -no-kvm-pit switch
 Problem also appears with the -no-kvm switch

In trying to make the core file smaller I found the
seg fault disappeared for anything less than 2048
and still appeared for other values above 2048.
(Interesting thing, m=2046 and 2047 got a little further, window
changed size before seg fault).  Everything up to 2045
worked.
Seg fault occurs quite early, last thing seen is:
  "Press F12 for boot menu"
followed by segfault about 3.5 to 4 seconds later.

Seems to be a problem with http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Bugs
where it says about core files "Then get a backtrace of
the error with"  followed by nothing?

dmesg shows:
