Steps to reproduce: 1) create a VM in virt-manager in F14, host machine is i386 2) select boot from network (PXE) (but I also tested this with a boot.iso, with the same result) 3) start the machine, select an entry from the list The machine hangs, with the following on the screen: http://akozumpl.fedorapeople.org/eddfail.png top reveals qemu-kvm process takes nearly 100% cpu.
Just to make it easier to search for this bug: the message on the screen says: Probing EDD (edd=off to disable).. OK
Please provide the virt-manager log file from $HOME/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log, guest XML (virsh dumpxml $GUESTNAME) and the full QEMU command line from /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$GUESTNAME.log
Do you have latest Fedora 14 stable kernel on host? I think this is duplicate of 649333, maybe 575330 too. If you can't reproduce it with latest stable kernel, close it as duplicate of 649333.
Jan, many thanks, the latest kernel fixed this for me. Ales *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 649333 ***
