Description darrell pfeifer 2007-07-12 17:56:10 UTC
Description of problem:

On a non-HT machine (Inspiron 9300) vm creation fails. Using a default 4 gig
disk image, the image gets initialized then the error occurs. In the previous
incarnation (version just before this one), there was an error message related
to not being able to initialize the network because the default profile wasn't
found, though this no longer happens.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

This was making a qemu based install, taking all the defaults except using a
disk image rather than a partition.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:

Comment 1 Daniel Berrangé 2007-07-12 18:03:46 UTC
What version of RPMs for  libvirt, qemu, kvm and virt-manager please ? Also can
you grab & attach $HOME/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log or 
/root/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log from immediately after trying to create the VM.

virtmanager log from fresh vm creation session

The mac address doesn't correspond to an valid mac address on the machine
(neither the wired eth0 or the wireless eth1). It should be using the wireless
eth1.

Comment 3 darrell pfeifer 2007-07-12 22:26:13 UTC
libvirt-python-0.3.0-1.fc8
libvirt-0.3.0-1.fc8
qemu-0.9.0-2.fc7
kvm-28-1.fc8
virt-manager-0.4.0-2.fc7


Comment 4 Daniel Berrangé 2007-07-13 02:37:51 UTC
The log file doesn't show anything untoward. The MAC address listed is the MAC
address asigned to the guest's virtual NIC - ie eth0 inside the guest. This is
not expected to match the host NIC's MAC address - you guest will be connected
to the host network with NAT, so this is fine.

How much RAM have you got in your host OS in total ?

Could you also see if there is anything under /var/log/libvirt/qemu  ?

Comment 5 darrell pfeifer 2007-07-13 03:01:15 UTC
The host machine has 1 gig of ram. Swap is available but not used.

Tried reducing the size of the virtual machine to 256M but same result.

The /var/log/libvirt/qemu is created but has 0 bytes.





Comment 6 Mihai Harpau 2007-07-13 16:14:33 UTC
I have exactly the same error on F7.
The version of programs used are:
libvirt-0.3.0-1.fc7
libvirt-python-0.3.0-1.fc7
qemu-0.9.0-2.fc7
kvm-24-1
virt-manager-0.4.0-2.fc7

Comment 8 Daniel Berrangé 2007-07-15 20:32:08 UTC
Can you tell me what kernel version you are using ? Also, are you on Fedora 7,
or rawhide ?

Comment 9 darrell pfeifer 2007-07-15 23:29:14 UTC
2.6.22-8.fc8

The machine is updated from rawhide pretty much every day.

I've tried several different times (I think I did use FC7 at one point) but
haven't been successful yet.

Comment 10 Cole Robinson 2008-03-12 20:42:41 UTC
Hi, is this still an issue on either F8 with the latest packages?

Comment 11 darrell pfeifer 2008-04-07 17:54:33 UTC
The bug report has gotten stale since virt-manager has changed quite a bit. I'll
close this and open another bug report if I see it happening again on a recent
version.
