Depending on the networking method used, ping may not work inside the VM. Have you tried for example connecting to some (working) website from a browser, or just using netcat to a remote host? Trying to get an IP via DHCP will fail. And using static an static IP and test DNS will also fail. dig www.google.com for example. This thread may be related http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2013-February/012319.html they say something about disabling acpi This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. As far as I can see, this is still a problem in Fedora 21 Networking was broken by ef02ef5f453 target-i386: Enable x2apic by default on KVM See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1395217 A verified work-around would be to add '-cpu ...,-x2apic' to the qemu command-line. In libvirt, edit the VM's xml, add the qemu:commandline xml namespace: <domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'> then, something like: <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-cpu'/> <qemu:arg value='SandyBridge,-x2apic'/> </qemu:commandline> A decent fix might be to add this cpu flag for the solaris machine type. Interesting. I added a reference on the launchpad bug to this issue. FWIW the native libvirt XML is: <cpu> <model>SandyBridge</model> <feature name="x2apic" policy="disable"/> </cpu> But I'd rather qemu/kvm gets the fix here than tools start disabling x2apic See also bug 1262093. There's an upstream qemu bug about this with more info: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1395217 So I'm just closing this bug. The end user 'fix' here will likely be virt-manager changing defaults as suggested in bug 1262093 |
