Bug 323645 – app-emulation/virt-manager-0.8.4 - potential issue with creating cpu pinned VMs

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Premek Vohnout 2010-06-12 06:35:30 UTC]

Please mask virt-manager-0.8.4 and don't remove virt-manager-0.8.3 because newly created virtual machine in 0.8.4 has problem with starting, cpu pinning and freezing during boot. 

I can't paste some logs or something like that, because it doesn't write anything anywhere

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create machine in virt-manager-0.8.4
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Freeze during boot

Expected Results:  
normal running

It writes logs to ~/.virt-manager

I use these features on a daily basis and it works fine. If the machine is freezing, more than likely your issue is much lower down in either qemu-kvm or potentially in libvirt in what its passing to qemu-kvm

Please attach the XML for the created virtual machine that causes this problem as well as attempt to create the virtual machine via virsh or via qemu-kvm command line directly and confirm that the issue is in fact in virt-manager and not lower down.

I've tried on different machines with different version of qemu-kvm and libvirt. Only problem was with virt-manager. Always stucked on Booting from... when there were selected two items for booting...

Hmm log contains only things from today (old version of virt-manager)

[Comment 4 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2010-06-13 15:33:56 UTC]

Please perform the following:

1) attach virt-manager logs
2) attach the libvirt XML file that virt-manager created via libvirt for the VM having the issue
3) attempt to create the VM via qemu-kvm command line to confirm where the issue is.
