A small problem

A small problem

[John Lewis]

Hi Guys,

Congratulations on creating something altogether more elegant and  
simple to use than Xen.

However I am having a small problem. Every time I try to start qemu  
the machine hangs completely. Can you give me some pointers?

My environment is:- Gentoo x86_64, Gcc-3.4.6-r2 + Gcc-4.1.2, kernel  
Gentoo-2.6.22-r2.

I am not using the in kernel kvm module and have kvm-36. The modules  
appear to load with problem and I can create a disk image with qemu-img.

Please let me know what other information you need.

Thanks,

John.

That's hardly simple to use.

What's your cpu type?  Please post /proc/cpuinfo and kernel .config.

Do previous kvm versions work?  Previous host kernels?

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
