All Versions greater kvm-74 doesn't work properly. I've tested all Versions after kvm-74, but no one work's. kvm always hangs on the bios screen. I'll never saw the grub bootloader except i started the image with the option "-no-kvm" Only kvm-74 works well. (But this version is deleted since a few days) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge kvm (app-emulation/kvm-74 USE="alsa gnutls modules ncurses sdl -esd -havekernel -pulseaudio -test -vde" 0 kB) 2. start a image simple by #kvm image 3. Actual Results: Image doesn't boot up. Expected Results: Image should boot up without the option "-no-kvm" Please re-submit app-emulation/kvm-74 to the portage tree as long the other version doesn't work. uname -a: Linux asterix 2.6.25-gentoo-r8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Nov 5 10:23:36 CET 2008 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux Additional Info: emerge --info .config

Are you using the kernel modules that came with your kernel (possibly compiled in) or are you using the ones installed by kvm?
Created attachment 171472 [details, diff] 2.6.25 kernel patch This problem is caused not by userspace, but by the kernel modules. See here for history http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2008/11/5/3926664/thread Kernel patch for 2.6.25 attached. Already fixed in 2.6.26-1. I would really like to see this in 2.6.25, especially until 2.6.26+ is marked stable.
Or you can just use the kernel modules that come with kvm. Feel free to ask the kernel guys, but I think it's very unlikely you'll get this into 2.6.25; kvm is a ~arch app, and it's not unreasonable that it needs a ~arch kernel. You should probalby just bit the bullet and upgrade your kernel. @kernel: what do you think?
*** Bug 246954 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Hi and sorry for the late answer. Today i tested the 26-r2 kernel and tried also to patch my 25-r9 kernel with Cory's patch. Both worked well. To have a patch in the 25er would be very nice, but in my case its not that important. Now i will run a 26-r2 kernel and hope this one get stable as soon as possible. ;) (see: #245638) But i think this bug shouldn't be closed as long as 26-r2 (or a newer, who nows ;) ) doesn't get stable to inform other people about this problem.
I guess I don't care a whole lot about closing the bug, but keep in mind that there's no guarantee that kvm will not depend on ~arch packages. It is, itself, ~arch, and I only test it on ~arch boxes, so such deps might happend and not get caught.
agreed, kernel will just focus on getting 2.6.26 stable ASAP (then move onto 2.6.27)
/usr/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources/gentoo-sources-2.6.26-r3.ebuild:KEYWORDS="~alpha amd64 ~arm ~hppa ~ia64 ~ppc ~ppc64 ~sparc x86" That should be good enough, the two main arches are stable. Can we close this?
The two only arches (for kvm) are stable... Closing, thanks.
