problem upgrading to kvm-33

problem upgrading to kvm-33

[Tony Smolar]

Hi,  I was currently using kvm-24, and I decided to try to upgrade to 
the latest.

My guest is XP-SP2 Home full edition.    When I tried to boot it under 
kvm-33,  I eventually got a blue screen and a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error.

I removed 33, and installed kvm-26.    I was able to boot the VM 
successfully with that.  So I guess this problem was introduced 
somewhere between 27 and 33.   Is there a way to tweak the guest to get 
around this problem?

Thanks,
Tony Smolar

Does passing -no-acpi to qemu help?

Hi,

I forgot to mention that I tried that,   it didn't make a difference.

this sound like hardware error,
try to disable all the hardware you can, (such as the lan support) in qemu.
please check if it can run with the "--no-kvm".

So you must use the standard HAL?

First can you please provide the cpu type, we had some problems on AMD.
Second, what's the host's OS? Is it 32/64 bit? kernel version.
Third, does -no-kvm works?

Some sanities just for making sure:
- Try running qemu with taskset -p 1
- Add -L SOURCE_REPOSITROY_PATH_FOR_QEMU_PC-BIOS directory for making
sure you use the right bios.bin

It is an AMD X2 3800+
The host is Fedora core 5,   32-bit version.    I upgraded the kernel to 
2.6.20
-no-kvm does not work.

I'll give these a shot and report back.

Ok, I did some more testing,   The problem does NOT occur with 
-no-kvm.   It also appeared somewhere between kvm-29 and kvm-31  (29 and 
30 didn't build for me).

The good news is that the new version 34 does not seem to have this 
problem,  I haven't tested it extensively yet.

Lastly, what drove me to upgrade in the first place was that I was 
experiencing minor bugs running "The Sims" under XP.       There would 
be sound while the game is starting, but once the game starts, sound 
stops working.   Also the mouse pointer would leave behind "residue" on 
the screen which would be cleaned up every few seconds (I guess during a 
refresh).   I also had problems losing sound with iTunes.   I am using 
the es1370 setting for sound.  Like I said these were minor, and are 
still present in kvm-34.

Thanks,
Tony Smolar

Good, thanks for checking it out.

Do these issues occur with -no-kvm?  How about with the default sound 
hardware?
