Description Jan Kratochvil 2012-06-28 13:56:25 UTC
Description of problem:
Tried to reproduce some issue on Ubuntu buggy BIOSes but qemu-kvm keeps crashing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-system-x86-0.15.1-5.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
Tried 3 times, always.

Steps to Reproduce:
Install ubuntu-12.04-dvd-amd64.iso.
qemu-kvm -drive file=/xxx/ubuntu12.04.qcow2,index=0,media=disk,snapshot=on,if=virtio,boot=on -vga vmware -net none -m 1024 -vnc :10

Actual results:
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

#12 main (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>, envp=<optimized out>) at /usr/src/debug/qemu-kvm-0.15.1/vl.c:3378

Expected results:
No crash.

Additional info:
I do not know why but Ubuntu creates with -vga vmware huge screen (2360x1770 may be the size).
Unaware why qemu crashes.
I have the core file here but (uncompressed) it is 758M, I may upload it somewhere.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 20:44:36 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
