I have the same problem on Fedora 9. I found the culprit. /etc/sysconfig/modules/kvm.modules: #!/bin/sh if [ $(grep -c vmx /proc/cpuinfo) -ne 0 ]; then modprobe kvm-intel >/dev/null 2>&1 fi if [ $(grep -c svm /proc/cpuinfo) -ne 0 ]; then modprobe kvm-amd >/dev/null 2>&1 fi A possible way would be to check for blacklisting in this script, since we're not using any other kind of automatic loading beside this one. Anyone see any cons of it ? It is modprobe's job to check the blacklists - we shouldn't be duplicating that functionality. modprobe should be fixed. I think the blacklist is supposed to only be for auto-loading. Hence why modprobe still works. Instead of let it be done automatically, it is done by this script. This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. 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 prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. I've reproduced this bug on Fedora 10. I have VMWare 2.0.x installed and have kqemu installed. On boot the /etc/sysconfig/modules/kvm.modules script loads the kvm_intel module if the CPU supports it. Unfortunately this interferes with VMs starting under VMWare on my system so I tried to blacklist it by adding the following to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist: #Blacklist KVM and KQEMU as we have vmware installed blacklist kvm blacklist kvm_intel blacklist kqemu Unfortunately since these modules are loaded by the kvm.modules script this blacklist is ignored. Looking around on google I've noticed this bug has been around since FC5 as the parport module was loaded through a /etc/sysconfig/modules script and couldn't be blacklisted normally. Why do these modules need to be loaded through an external script anyway? Fixed in qemu-0.10.91-0.6.rc1.fc12. |
