Also tested with Solaris 10 5/09, with the same behaviour, same results Hi, we`ve just checked the patches applied into redhat`s kvm package and the fore mentioned patch is already in there. so this is caused for something else. We`ve tested with 5.5beta packages kvm-83-154.el5 kmod-kvm-83-154.el5 etherboot-zroms-kvm-5.4.4-13.el5 kvm-qemu-img-83-154.el5 kvm-tools-83-154.el5 kernel-2.6.18-186.el5 libvirt-0.6.3-31.el5 libvirt-0.6.3-31.el5 libvirt-python-0.6.3-31.el5 and it also fails. testing with an Ubuntu Karmic machine which closely follows kernel 2.6.31 the kvm related commits into Ubuntu are only the ones available in upstream. http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu%2Fubuntu-karmic.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=commit&s=kvm http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu%2Fubuntu-karmic.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=commit&s=solaris oops, i must complete the sentence.. testing with an Ubuntu Karmic machine the Solaris Guest works with 64 bits. We're trying to collect some logs, enabling debug in libvirt but we don`t find anything that catchs our attention. however i`m attaching them to this report. thanks Created attachment 401367 [details]

kvm references at ubuntu`s changelog
Tested with jwilson`s packages at http://people.redhat.com/jwilson/el5/194.el5/ without success. A working scenario is on ubuntu karmic kernel 2.6.31-16-generic libvirt: 0.7.0-1ubuntu13 qemu-kvm : 0.11.0-0ubuntu6 virt-manager:0.7.0-3ubuntu1 host:sony vaio laptop x86_64 bits, with VT enabled on bios the solaris vm boots correctly at 64 bits. On rhel 5.4 we've have built and boot, with a 2.6.33.1 (rpm) kernel from www.kernel.org, and the problem persists. A working scenario is on ubuntu karmic kernel 2.6.31-16-generic libvirt: 0.7.0-1ubuntu13 qemu-kvm : 0.11.0-0ubuntu6 virt-manager:0.7.0-3ubuntu1 host:sony vaio laptop x86_64 bits, with VT enabled on bios the solaris vm boots correctly at 64 bits. On rhel 5.4 we've have built and boot, with a 2.6.33.1 (rpm) kernel from www.kernel.org, and the problem persists. We've managed to solve this issue as follows: 1.- compiling from upstream sources qemu-kvm 0.12.3 2.- applying to 5.4 RHEL libvirt RPM package the patch : Avoid broken networking with new QEMU/KVM >= 86 http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=2afc3bfd8b779ddba974da9d66d6ea337fc91c01 With this procedure we've managed to get Solaris 64 bits working flawlessly on top of KVM. Currently there are no plans to support Solaris over rhel5, closing. |
