SuSE Linux 10.1 & 10.2 on KVM

SuSE Linux 10.1 & 10.2 on KVM

Hi Guys,

   I was wondering if SuSE Linux 10.1 and 10.2 can boot on top of KVM? 

Xen is getting into real mode emulation issues with these distributions
for Fully virtualized Guests.

 

Thanks & Regards,

KVM has the same problem at the moment.  Instead of using something like 
vmxassist, KVM just sets up the VMCS so that the guest runs in vm86 mode.

We're looking at extending x86_emulate.c to handle 16 bit code to 
address this problem (for both Xen and KVM).

I guess that means you're using an Intel host.

Install with -no-kvm, then uncomment "gfxmenu" in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
And don't worry if the VM doesn't shutdown/reboot properly with Suse
10.2 - just kill and restart it.
