Description Lars Seipel 2012-01-25 12:06:59 UTC

Description of problem:
When running imvirt inside a virtualized Rawhide system it fails to detect this and reports it's running on physical hardware. The host runs F16 and its virtualization stack.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
imvirt-0.9.0-6.fc17.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make sure you are logged in with appropriate privileges (i.e. root)
2. run imvirt
  
Actual results:
[root@rawhidevm ~]# imvirt
Physical

Expected results:
The system is correctly reported as virtualized.

Additional info:
There is a new upstream version (0.9.1) which, according to the upstream changelog, improves detection of guests running under QEMU/KVM with virtio devices.

The similar program virt-what (also in Fedora) correctly identifies it is running on KVM.

Can you please try new imvirt:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3765373

If it still fail, can you please provide output of "imvirt -d"?

Comment 2 Lars Seipel 2012-02-06 15:32:10 UTC

The new version from koji properly detects the system as running on KVM. Thanks.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)
