Subject: "-vga std" causes guest OS to crash (on disk io?) on a 1440x900 latpop.
Date: Sun, 8 Mar 2009 18:05:58 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <fd211a420903081505g2e471c8fue22e88fc0ba46f62@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

When I run the guest without the -vga option, everything is fine, the
resolutions isn't what I would like, but it works remarkably well.

If I add "-vga std" to the command I use to run the guest, then it
will crash when it attempts to start graphics.  This will also happen
if I attempt to boot from an .iso with the "-vga std" option.  If I
attempt to install ubuntu 8.10 for x86 I get errors about not being
able to read startup files in the /etc directory.
This also happens if I use the -no-vkm switch.

reidd@heman:/usr/appliances$ uname -a
Linux heman 2.6.27-11-server #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 20:19:41 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

this is running an AMD Turion X2 on a toshiba Satellite P305D.

I am using kvm-84, but also tested on 83 with the same results.

Any ideas on why this would happen?

Thanks,

Dylan
