KVM hangs on start

KVM hangs on start

[Scott Lerman]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 578 bytes --]

I installed kvm from Ubuntu's 7.04 repository. When I try start kvm with

kvm -m 256 -cdrom /path/to/kubuntu-7.04-dvd-i386.iso -boot d .kvm/server.img

I get a BIOS screen that says Loading... (among other typical BIOS
information), then just does nothing while using 100% of one of the cores on
my CPU. The server.img disk image is newly created. I've been following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM, and everything up to this point has
worked fine. My CPU is an Athlon AM2. Anybody else seen this issue before
and have any ideas on what the problem is?

what kernel are you using?  is kvm built in kernel or as modules?
what version of userspace kvm are you using?  What is the ouput of cat
/proc/cpuinfo?

Thanks

The kernel is the current Ubuntu version, /proc/version is Linux version
2.6.20-16-generic (root@terranova) (gcc version 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4))
#2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:19:32 UTC 2007

The kvm version is also the one from the Ubuntu repository, which apt calls
1:16-1ubuntu2. Not certain if that means it's kvm version 16. Is there a way
to get the version directly from kvm? (I didn't see a -v flag in the man
page)

Here's the output for /proc/cpuinfo

Thanks for the help.

Yes, I think it's kvm-16.  It's too old to be useful.  I suggest 
downloading kvm-33.  There are a couple of AMD-related regressions in 
there, so if that doesn't work well you should try kvm-34 which will be 
released in a few days.

Is anyone building .deb packages for new versions? I did my share of
compiling everything for servers a few years ago, and the last time I tried
to compile something on my Ubuntu system at home ended up as a nightmare of
tracking down -dev packages. If nobody is, and if there's any interest, I
can try to spend some time doing it at least for i386 packages.

If you just apt-get build-dep kvm then you should have no problem 
building kvm from source.

Compiling version 33 worked great. Next up is getting the networking stuff
set up the way I'd like it to work.
