Description Paul Lambert 2010-07-09 01:47:13 UTC
Description of problem: Since the release of Fe-13 I have been unable to complete a build of a Fe-13 guest VM from a iso DVD on the local host.  I can complete up to certain steps in the build process including one install attempt where I completed 1056 of 1064 package installs before VM locked up.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm.x86_64                            2:0.12.3-8.fc13              @anaconda-InstallationRepo-201005130101.x86_64
etherboot-roms-kvm.noarch                  5.4.4-18.fc13                fedora  
etherboot-zroms-kvm.noarch                 5.4.4-18.fc13                fedora  
qemu-kvm-tools.x86_64                      2:0.12.3-8.fc13              fedora 


How reproducible:Over 20 VM create attempts have failed


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot from DVD image
2.Configure install 
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info: Using Top to monitor CPU, the usage typically runs between 30 and 50% but when it spikes past 100% the install process never returns.

Even when not spiking to 100%, I believe that KVM is consuming too much cpu time.  I have not experienced any lockups of this nature on existing guests but there are times when a long delay in response to mouse or key strokes occurs.

Comment 1 Daniel Berrangé 2010-07-09 09:30:23 UTC
Please provide the full KVM command line and/or libvirt XML for the guest that hangs.

Comment 2 Paul Lambert 2010-07-09 12:13:16 UTC
XML for VM.  virt-manager command line below this.

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2011-06-01 14:22:29 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '13'.

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 13'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 13 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 Paul Lambert 2011-06-18 13:28:45 UTC
Please close this bug report

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2011-06-29 13:47:17 UTC
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 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.
