kvm-53

kvm-53

[Farkas Levente]

hi,
we made a quick try of kvm-53. in short there is no progress for us
(since we need the mandrake-9 i586 guest too) so switch back to kvm-36.
in detail:
- guest-1 smp guest are hang at starting udev
- guest-1 sinlge cpu boot.
- guest-2 both smp and single cpu guest boot.
- guest-3 neither smp nor single cpu guest boot (it's hang before
loading kernel, kvm-36 boot it with single cpu) this means i can't boot
this guest in kvm-53.


- host:
  - Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600  @ 2.40GHz
  - Intel S3000AHV
  - 8GB RAM
  - CentOS-5
  - kernel-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 x86_64 64bit
- guest-1:
  - CentOS-5
  - kernel-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 i386 32bit
- guest-2:
  - CentOS-5
  - kernel-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 x86_64 64bit
- guest-3:
  - Mandrake-9
  - kernel-2.4.19.16mdk-1-1mdk 32bit
- guest-4:
  - Windows XP Professional 32bit

no kvm-36 was not able to use smp guest (neither 32 nor 64 bit), but
able to boot mandrake-9 with single cpu and as we need mandrake too this
is the only version we can use (we rather use all guest as single cpu).

Hi  Levente!

Do you have a link where I can download Mandrake 9.0 ? 

Because I don't have this version, and don't know where to get it.

ok. just to describe why we need it. our production servers run on
mandrake-9 and mandrake-10. it's about 6-700 server running in 6
different countries. we're in progress to switch them to centos-5, but
since all of the servers are in different country's different city we've
to do it remotely and it require big care and it's happened very slowly.
our central development server has all kind of different system
distro/kernel/cpu 32 and 64bit/memory/ etc. we runs test on these guests
and compile new versions on them. so these are not mission critical
production server but our developer use it and that's why we have all
guest running. we're in a process to make a second server which use xen
and run guests on that hosts. currently it seems that xen is much more
stable and usable alternative. as i'm on the kvm list since about half
year it seems xen will be better choice in the next 6-12 mounts too. and
xen has more support from et.redhat.com too libvirt, virt-manager, etc
too. anyway imho someone from qumranet may have to be involved in these
tools development too (to be at the same level as xen) since it's very
important from the user point of view. unfortunately i choose kvm over
xen at the first place that's way i made rpms for kvm and other tools
for centos and test all new version a little bit.

OK, I have found that Mandrake Linux 9.0 works on Intel/x86-64 on KVM-51.

Does this help you for now ?

I will try to look further.

Tried, and you're right. It crashes right from start.

Opened a bug report. We will look into this issue.

Sorry to be late on reporting on kvm-53 release but I have had host hang and
BSOD when running windows xp sp2 32-bit guest. I have had to revert to
release 51 as I also have problems with release 52 (boot failure). My host
does have flexpriority and details are as follows:

Well, Mandrake 9.0 works on Intel/x64 KVM-51, but without SMP.

It stucks with SMP. (on init stage, when entering init 5)
