Subject: KVM git hangs with if=virtio (works under kvm 0.12.3)
Date: Thu, 01 Jul 2010 20:31:58 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1278041518.10459.48.camel@geektop> (raw)
Hello all,
I'm booting a CentOS kernel under today's KVM git and it hangs after
initializing the serial port when the drive if=virtio, but not when
drive if=ide. Look close---this is not a "forgot to add virtio_blk"
problem. If I use 0.12.3 from Ubuntu 10.04 it works properly.
Reproduction:
Using kvm 0.12.3 on ubuntu 10.04 (1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu16+0.12.3+noroms
+0ubuntu9) it will work properly:
qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=dummy-disk-image,if=virtio \
-kernel vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5.centos.plus
As expected, the kernel panics unable to mount root (good-boot.png).
This makes sense, as "dummy-disk-image" is 1MB of 0x00 bytes.
---However---if I use today's git (2010-07-01) of kvm:
/usr/local/kvm-git/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=dummy-disk-image,if=virtio \
-kernel vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5.centos.plus
This hangs just after initializing the Serial device (obtained by adding
-serial stdio -append console=ttyS0):
Note that this only happens with the disk interface set to virtio
(if=virtio). It works fine for ide (if=ide).
Am I doing something wrong here?
Is anyone else having this problem?
