Can you attach a dmesg from the system after you have tried running a guest? I was just able to boot the XP VM once, but got this on the second try: ... device vnet0 entered promiscuous mode virbr0: topology change detected, propagating virbr0: port 1(vnet0) entering forwarding state vnet0: no IPv6 routers present BUG: Bad page state in process qemu-kvm pfn:3f9ce page:c1d599c0 flags:80000004 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:(null) index:0 (Tainted: P ) Pid: 7494, comm: qemu-kvm Tainted: P 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE #1 Call Trace: [<c049ecc8>] bad_page+0xdf/0xf4 [<c049fc51>] get_page_from_freelist+0x28d/0x364 [<c049fe10>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0xe8/0x447 [<c04e3b1c>] ? mark_buffer_dirty+0x70/0x73 [<c049ace7>] __page_cache_alloc+0x16/0x18 [<c049bae7>] grab_cache_page_write_begin+0x4b/0x85 [<c0526abf>] ext4_da_write_begin+0x187/0x252 [<c049c30b>] generic_file_buffered_write+0xd4/0x263 [<c049c8d8>] __generic_file_aio_write_nolock+0x258/0x289 [<c049cbd2>] generic_file_aio_write+0x5f/0xb0 [<c051f429>] ext4_file_write+0xa3/0x11a [<c04c882d>] do_sync_write+0xae/0xe9 [<c056cf31>] ? file_has_perm+0x89/0xa3 [<c0450d55>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x34 [<c056d221>] ? selinux_file_permission+0x49/0x4d [<c056654b>] ? security_file_permission+0x14/0x16 [<c04c89ee>] ? rw_verify_area+0x9d/0xc0 [<c04c877f>] ? do_sync_write+0x0/0xe9 [<c04c8dc8>] vfs_write+0x85/0xe4 [<c04c8e6f>] sys_pwrite64+0x48/0x5e [<c0408f7b>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x28 BUG: Bad page state in process Xorg pfn:3d0ab page:c1d07560 flags:80000004 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:(null) index:0 (Tainted: P B ) Pid: 1502, comm: Xorg Tainted: P B 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE #1 Call Trace: [<c049ecc8>] bad_page+0xdf/0xf4 [<c049fc51>] get_page_from_freelist+0x28d/0x364 [<c049fe10>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0xe8/0x447 [<c04c59b7>] ? __mem_cgroup_try_charge+0x3d/0x14f [<c04af062>] alloc_pages_node.clone.0+0x16/0x18 [<c04afd63>] handle_mm_fault+0x1d7/0x8f2 [<c077a829>] do_page_fault+0x282/0x298 [<c077a5a7>] ? do_page_fault+0x0/0x298 [<c0778d3b>] error_code+0x73/0x78 virbr0: port 1(vnet0) entering disabled state device vnet0 left promiscuous mode virbr0: port 1(vnet0) entering disabled state Is this another selinux problem? Note that "Tainted" has to be the nvidia driver which I am using now for a few days, the problem clearly showed before that though. Unfortunately not. If you stop the ksm and ksmtuned services, can you run virtual machines without issue? (In reply to comment #3) > If you stop the ksm and ksmtuned services, can you run > virtual machines without issue? Seems to work after stopping both services! Great. I should have a fix in an update kernel once F12 is out. In the meantime you cannot just turn off the services, you can chkconfig ksmtuned off, but ksm needs to actually run the stop script. Perhaps just add '/sbin/service ksm stop' from rc.local. Once the kernel update is available, this ticket will be updated and you can revert these changes to make use of the ksm feature. This patch has been posted in cvs as 2.6.31.5-128 and should appear in the first update kernel for F-12. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'.
