Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Rafal Wijata (ravpl) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: could not load PC BIOS '/path/to/bios.bin' on "-m 4096" Initial Comment: The maximum amount of memory I can give to kvm is ~3560M I run custom compiled kvm-66 on F8 box with Linux mailhub 2.6.24.4-64.fc8 #1 SMP Sat Mar 29 09:15:49 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux The modules are loaded from F8 kernel, rather than those shipped with kvm-66 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Rafal Wijata (ravpl) Date: 2008-05-26 18:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=996150 Originator: YES I would rather not. The machine is set up, and I'm not willing to mess with it. Sorry. But I suppose my mistake was to use F8 shipped modules instead of kvm provided. Feel free to close this issue. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Izik Eidus (izike) Date: 2008-04-30 16:12 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1851802 Originator: NO above 4 giga support in kvm, work stable just for kernel modules with userspace memory allocation (kvm 50~, or 2.6.25) however there is no actually any limitation in making it work for older kernel modules, i will take a look on it, (but it will take me few weeks until i will touch it) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Marcelo Tosatti (mtosatti) Date: 2008-04-30 15:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=2022487 Originator: NO This bug can be marked as CLOSED. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Rafal Wijata (ravpl) Date: 2008-04-30 14:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=996150 Originator: YES Indeed, I grabbed the kvm-67, recompiled, and loaded modules that comes with kvm(kvm-intel). After that I could give to the guest even 6G of ram. And BTW, after I loaded those modules I was able to assign more than 4 CPUs to the guest as well(I remember there's such bug here). Thanx for prompt reply. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Marcelo Tosatti (mtosatti) Date: 2008-04-30 03:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=2022487 Originator: NO Can you reproduce the problem with the modules shipped with kvm-66? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=893831&aid=1953353&group_id=180599
