Description of problem: Attempted to boot a fully virtualized DomU with rawhide's 2.6.31-14.fc12.x86_64 for installation hangs almost immediately. How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: virt-install \ --hvm \ --name=rawhide \ --ram=2048 \ --file=/vm/rawhide.img \ --file-size=8 \ --location=/mnt/download/fedora/linux/development/x86_64/os Select install from the boot menu Actual results: Hangs after printing the following Loading vmlinuz............ Loading initrd.img................ Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... ok Expected results: boots Additional info: There are no logs in xm dmesg Note, a 32-bit HVM boots and installs on a 32-bit host
Moving to kernel-xen for now since a 64-bit HVM rawhide boots past this point on an upstream Xen host.
There's no kernel-xen in Fedora - sounds like you need to change the product to RHEL5?
ah yes, thanks Mark. Moving to RHEL5.
Created attachment 363830 [details] patch to reslove the bug, masks xsave
Created attachment 363957 [details] ver2: mask out xsave and also osxsave Same as previous patch, but as an added precaution OSXSAVE is also masked.
