Description of problem: The current build of KVM (36-6.fc8) is crashing the Vista (32bit) install. Using the latest upstream release (kvm-44) resolved the above problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): HOST: Fedora x86_64 rawhide build (9/28/07), kernel.x86_64 2.6.23-0.211.rc8.git2.fc8 kvm 36-6.fc8 GUEST: Vista Ultimate 32bit
OK, I forgot to mentioned that kvm kernel modules on kvm-44 is causing segfault. So to avoid BSOD while installing Vista 32bit, I use the following components: From Fedora KVM.x86_64.36-6.fc8: kvm.ko, kvm-amd.ko From upstream KVM-44: /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 /usr/local/bin/qemu-img HARDWARE: Motherboard: ECS GeForce6100SM-M v1.0 CPU: AMD Athlon64 X2 4400 RAM: 2GB Chipset: Nvidia 6100S
Rawhide is now up to kvm-60, does that fix the issue for you?
I can confirm that it fixed it for me! I just rebuilt the rawhide kvm, re-modprobed the modules, and all was well. :-)
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I agree, the problem has been fixed on FC9 (kvm.x86_64 ver 65-1.fc9)
