Last modified: 2010-12-03 20:02:44 EST
Description of problem: When using ubuntu hardy as a guest system on a fully up-to-date fedora 12 system, ans when using the virtio network drivers, any incoming network traffic will instantly kill the guest with a message in the logs stating "virtio-net truncating packet". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qemu-kvm-0.11.0-12.fc12.x86_64 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a virtual machine with virtio network hardware. 2. Install Ubuntu Hardy (8.04.x) in guest. 3. Try to send data to the guest system. Actual results: Observe guest crash instantly. Expected results: Guest should survive an scp session.

Same problem with e1000 and fedora 13 guest but the host crash too !
I have this exact issue. As a work-around, I switched to the e1000 driver and it seems to have stablized things. I had this same issue when my host was a fresh Ubutnu 9.04 image, but their updated KVM package fixed the issue.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
