Note this is currently blocked by 600145; hoping to test Glauber's patches on the latest kernel, I downloaded the latest daily RHEL6 image. It failed to install (and wiped my guest VM's disk in the process). What does "no longer" mean? is it due to a change in the R6 kernel, or due to an upstream change? Which change, precisely? Also, better test 100% rhel6 components + guest. In theory your setup should work fine but there are too many factors that might get in the way This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for inclusion. Please re-test with kernel-2.6.32-33.el6. It has all kvmclock patches in Argh, 20100607 Server DVD fails to install in a VM. What's going on! I need to try RHEL6 on RHEL6 anyway, I'll try on another machine. Well, the DVD also fails to install on my physical server; I get a black screen right when X is supposed to start. RHEL6 and RHEL5 both used to install on this server, so either I'm using the wrong install media or we've got serious regressions in the RHEL6 installer. Testing using a Glauberized kernel reveals successful SMP boot with kvmclock! |
