Release note added. If any revisions are required, please set the "requires_release_notes" flag to "?" and edit the "Release Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: ABI stability: the ABI between userspace (e.g. qemu-kvm) and the KVM kernel modules is likely to change in future updates. fixing component: it's kvm, not kernel Eduardo, that's a pretty obscure note. Maybe note upstream qemu-kvm specifically? - qemu revisions built from latest qemu-kvm tree are known to fail on boot - As a work around, specify -no-kvm-irqchip on the command line - The issue will be fixed in a future errata Release note updated.

Could you please add your steps in this bug? I just use "configure && make && make install" to combine the qemu-kvm, then start guest. But the guest failed in kernel panic. Attached the Screenshot. I tried on kvm-83-113.el5. Created attachment 380752 [details]

I could not reproduce this bug on kvm-83-152.el5 (commit 34f6b13147766789fc2ef289f5b420f85e51d049) An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on therefore solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0271.html |
