Problem with Grub and KVM 88

Problem with Grub and KVM 88

[Erik Wartusch]

Hi all,

Following problem.
I recently upgraded kvm from 7.2 (Debian Lenny repository version) to
the newest 88 KVM.

Since then when I first started and stopped a Debian Lenny virtual
instance (guest) at the next (second) start I get the following error:
"Grub loading, please wait..... Error 2". So the first time its booting
the second not, resulting with this error. 

KVM Version 88
Kernel Host system: 2.6.26-2-amd64
Kernel guest system: 2.6.26-2-amd64
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5420 @ 2.50GHz
OS for host and guest: Debian Lenny

Qemu command line from a script:
#!/bin/sh

/usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -m 256  \
  -name test3 \
  -boot c \
  -hda /var/kvm/test3.img \
  -net nic,macaddr=00:30:1c:45:35:04,model=virtio,vlan=0 \
  -net tap,script=/etc/kvm/kvm-ifup,vlan=0 \
  -k de \
  -vnc 192.168.125.21:4 \
  -monitor tcp:127.0.0.1:2024,server,nowait \
  -serial none \
  -parallel none \
  -daemonize > /dev/null 2>&1

A CentOS or Windows XP are working fine.

Can somebody confirm this or any solution?
Kind Regards,
Erik

I have the Debian Lenny VM installer booting fine on KVM-88 (32 and 64-bit CD-ROM ISOs).
Host is RHEL 5.3/x64.
If you try if -no-kvm option, does it work?

I've tried the option -no-kvm. Same problem. Booting from ISOs is not the problem. I have images which I used with the 72 version without any problem 
and now with 88 they don't boot the second time.

I've reinstalled Debian Lenny now on a fresh virtual harddisk and now
its working... Seems like my "old" images I used with 72 are the problem
with 88.

How did you install kvm-88? Did you do a proper install? including the bios 
files, extboot, etc?

I downloaded the tar.gz
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/kvm/kvm-88.tar.gz?use_mirror=dfn

unzipped it and followed the procedure according to the how to:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/kvm 
make 
make install 
modprobe kvm-intel
