Description Bryan Kearney 2008-05-16 16:58:58 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #446830 +++

We are seeing F9 and Rawhide, when launched as a guest in kvm (whether throuhg
virt-manager or command line in qemu-kvm) will get through grub, then loose it's
vnc connection, and eventually seg fault. 

This tasks resolves this issue on f9. Perhaps it should be backported:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=600393

I get the following debug output on f8.

Patch from Marcelo Tossati fixes this:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2008-05/msg00291.html

Koji scratch build for F-9 with this patch added:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=600393

Comment 1 John Poelstra 2008-09-27 03:53:17 UTC
Is this still an issue with the latest packages in rawhide?

Should this be considered a release blocker?

Comment 2 Alan Pevec 2008-09-28 03:54:53 UTC
This particular bug is fixed in F9 already.
