Hard Locking Machine

Hard Locking Machine

[Adam Barrett]

machine specs:

Compaq F572US
AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK-53 (Dual Core) (had svm flag)
1024MB of RAM

I am running Xubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy)

I have tried both kvm-74 and kvm-75

With 74 anytime I boot using:

qemu-system-x86_64 -hda /var/lib/kvm/efx2blogs -cdrom
/home/utahcon/ubuntu-8.04-server-i386.iso

It instantly locks my machine to the point I have to do a hard
power-off and reboot.

in 75 I am getting 1 or 2 good boots then it locks the machine.

I have added 2>&1> kvm_errors to the end of the command to attempt to
catch any errors that might be helpful, but I am getting nothing in
the file

I am really at a loss of what to do here.

Any ideas? I will try just about anything. Thanks!

Try upgrading the BIOS to the latest available version.

If that fails, try loading kvm-amd with the npt=0 module parameter.
