ciao, I have a problem to run a 64 bit intel guest inside a 64 bit intel host. It doesn' boot. host: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6420 @ 2.13GHz OS: ubuntu 8.10 64 bit ($ file /bin/ls>/bin/ls: ELF 64-bit LSB xecutable, x86-64,...) kvm-82 $ modinfo kvm filename: /lib/modules/2.6.27-9-server/extra/kvm.ko license: GPL author: Qumranet version: kvm-82 srcversion: 26E72577C6F752FF6FCE2AE depends: vermagic: 2.6.27-9-server SMP mod_unload modversions parm: oos_shadow:bool parm: msi2intx:bool $ modinfo kvm_intel filename: /lib/modules/2.6.27-9-server/extra/kvm-intel.ko license: GPL author: Qumranet version: kvm-82 srcversion: 6F53E897CA902DDC25AC326 depends: kvm vermagic: 2.6.27-9-server SMP mod_unload modversions parm: bypass_guest_pf:bool parm: enable_vpid:bool parm: flexpriority_enabled:bool parm: enable_ept:bool parm: emulate_invalid_guest_state:bool trying to boot the guest: /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu core2duo -hda ./ubuntu-server-8.10_64bit.root -cdrom /home/vm/iso/ubuntu/ubuntu-8.10-server-i386.iso -k it -usbdevice tablet -boot d as soon as I run this command, in syslog appear: cpu0: unhandled wrmsr: 0xc0010117 data 0 (always the same address) and in the guest window, the latest 3 lines: Initializing cgroup subsys ns Initializing cgroup subsys cpuacct Initializing cgroup subsys memory (screendump in attachment) the same with -cpu: coreduo no problem (but still appear "unhandled wrmsr" error) with all the other cpu questions: 1) with -cpu qemu64 I obtain in the guest: cat /proc/cpuinfo vendor_id: GenuineIntel but it doesn't seem a 64 bit cpu (?) 2) can I do some deeper debug to provide more useful info? (or suggest me a different command-line) 3) what does "logfile" command (should) do? CTRL-ALT-2 logfile /tmp/logfile but there is no /tmp/logfile on host thank you. -- /* Paolo Pedaletti, * paolo@pedaletti.it www.pedaletti.it */
