Description of problem: As also described in fedora-virt mailinglist by Gene Czarcinski, F12-Alpha fails to run under Fedora 11 + virt-preview. It boots, but then qemu process dies. Log from libvirt/qemu/ attached below. I use qcow2 image for virtual machine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fedora-release-11-1.noarch qemu-0.10.91-0.5.rc1.fc11.i586 libvirt-0.7.0-6.fc11.i586 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. trying to boot using PXE (without gPXE, which still does not boot on F11) 2. trying to boot F11-Alpha installer Actual results: LC_ALL=C PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M pc-0.11 -m 1024 -smp 1 -name rawhide -uuid 46a2dcee-09b2-73f8-160b-895511aa719c -monitor unix:/var/run/libvirt/qemu/rawhide.monitor,server,nowait -boot n -drive file=/mnt/d/img/rawhide.img,if=virtio,index=0,format= -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:08:ee:00,vlan=0,model=virtio,name=virtio.0 -net tap,fd=22,vlan=0,name=tap.0 -serial pty -parallel none -usb -usbdevice tablet -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 -k en-us -vga cirrus char device redirected to /dev/pts/6 kvm_msix_add: kvm_get_irq_route_gsi failed: No space left on device kvm_msix_update: kvm_update_routing_entry failed: Invalid argument Then there is no qemu process running, virt-manager only displays information that can't access console. Expected results: Running installation. Additional info: I don't know, which space has left on which device, I have aprox. 3 GB free ram (virtual machine is defined to use 1 GB) and aprox. 800 MB free in /tmp and 26 GB free on partition where is my rawhide.img (qcow2 defined to use max. 8 GB).
Same thing for me. Even if I was installing F12 alpha, I specified Fedora 9 when creating the guest via virt-manager because DVD/CD iso image references are screwed up for if not IDE.
(In reply to comment #0) > kvm_msix_add: kvm_get_irq_route_gsi failed: No space left on device > kvm_msix_update: kvm_update_routing_entry failed: Invalid argument Okay, the issue here is that MSI-X support requires a newer kernel We shouldn't exit on older kernels, though - this needs to be fixed
Amit points this out as the likely fix: http://git.kernel.org/?p=virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git;a=commitdiff;h=aca6915d92 This is building in dist-f12 now: * Mon Sep 7 2009 Mark McLoughlin <markmc> - 2:0.10.91-0.10.rc1 - Fix MSI-X error handling on older kernels (#519787)
