Description of problem: Using virt-manager to create a KVM guest hangs with the latest F7 kernel (2.6.23.1-21.fc7). Virt-manager does not hang when booting the older F7 kernel (2.6.23.1-10.fc7). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-virtinst-0.200.0-3.fc7 libvirt-0.3.3-1.fc7 libvirt-python-0.3.3-1.fc7 virt-manager-0.4.0-2.fc7 How reproducible: All the time. Steps to Reproduce: 1.fire up virt-manager 2.try opening a kvm client 3. Actual results: When the 'run' button is clicked in the console windown both virt-mananger windows hang. Killing virt-mananger and restarting it show the kvm client as up and running but when a seconde console window is opened both windows again hang Expected results: Additional info:
Does it hang just running a guest with qemu-kvm directly?
I've never been able to figure out how to run qemu-kvm directory (i.e. w/o virt-manager). So if there is a HOWTO you can point me to, it would be much appreciated! But... that scratch build you pointed me to: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/scratch/katzj/task_229731/ (kvm-36-7.fc7) did seem to do the trick. I no longer see the hang.
