Hi,

I have having the same problem with a x86 Hypervisor and x86 guest.

Versions:

F12 - fully updated
qemu-kvm-0.11.0-13.fc12.i686
kernel-PAE-2.6.32.9-70.fc12.i686


Is possible to boot my virtual machine, just using qemu. But, using qemu-kvm the virtual machine don't start properly with the following dump:

[root@orion ~]# qemu-kvm -boot c -drive file=/dev/VMS/F12_node1

I got a corefile, so, if it is necessary, how can I send it ? Once it has 161MB.

If more information is needed, please ask me

Just reporting that I am having the same issue as Carlos post-update (VM worked prior to yum update).  I can not start my KVM VMs unless I run them using just QEMU. 

In the virt-manager I get...

Error starting domain: operation failed: could not query memory balloon allocation

Details:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 588, in run_domain
    vm.startup()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 151, in startup
    self._update_status()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 806, in _update_status
    info = self.get_info()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 139, in get_info
    return self._backend.info()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 530, in info
    if ret is None: raise libvirtError ('virDomainGetInfo() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: operation failed: could not query memory balloon allocation


System: Fedora 12
Kernel: 2.6.32.10-90.fc12.i686.PAE
QEMU-KVM: 0.11.0-13.fc12.i686
Available RAM: 4.5Gb/6Gb
VM allocation: 512mb


Please feel free to contact me if you need more information or need anything tested :)

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2010-11-03 22:09:56 UTC
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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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

Comment 4 Cole Robinson 2010-11-17 19:23:30 UTC
Hmm, this bug has been dormant for a while. Closing for now, if someone can reproduce with F13 or later, please reopen. Thanks
