Hey Tomas, libvirt's a userspace component, so I'd be surprised if it was the thing locking up the host, but let's see if we can figure out what's going on here. A few questions: can you provide the guest XML; does the guest OS make a difference; can you ssh into the host while it's in this state?

I have problems only when installing RHEL-5-9 (and also with latest RHEL-5.10 nightly snapshot). With the latest nightly snapshot I was able to get further than with RHEL-5.9 but instead of freezing my host kernel crashed. I'll attach picture of what I got on my screen. I'm using kernel-3.9.2-200.fc18.x86_64 > can you ssh into the host while it's in this state? ssh is not working after the host freezes, but I was still able to ping the host.

Guest XML
I replaced MAC address of the network interface with "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"
since it is my physical interface's MAC.

ABRT is reporting that there was a kernel oops but the Kernel was tainted (flags: GFD). G - Proprietary module has been loaded F - Module has been forcibly loaded D - Kernel has oopsed before tainted modules are: tpm_tis, joydev Hope this helps to find out what might be causing this, but I'm not sure if this is libvirt Bug or kernel Bug.

This is definitely not a libvirt bug; I'm changing the component to kernel, but I suspect you're not going to get a lot of interest from the kernel folks unless you can reproduce on an untainted kernel.

Thanks! I'm using *default* Fedora kernel without any 3rd party modules and it is happening on any Fedora 18 installation (I tested on 3 different hosts) so I think they should be interested... I should also mention that this issue happens also if I unload "tpm_tis" and "joydev" modules from kernel. Based on the stack trace involving macvlan, macvtap, and vhost_net, I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of 954181 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 954181 *** |
