+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #670942 +++ Description of problem: Currently kernel-rt (from MRG packages) does not work with libguestfs (i.e. libguestfs-test-tool fails (or most probably kernel-rt breaks libguestfs). libguestfs always chooses the latest available kernel, maybe it should not use any kernel-rt. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-rt-2.6.33.7-rt29.45 python-libguestfs-1.2.7-1.el5.8 libguestfs-1.2.7-1.el5.8 --- Additional comment from rjones on 2011-01-19 14:05:29 EST --- Thanks. The problem is the -rt kernel is compiled without support for any virtio (in particular virtio-net and virtio-blk). This is not particularly surprising given the target of -rt kernels is not virt. --- Additional comment from ltoscano on 2011-01-20 04:28:46 EST --- # grep VIRTIO /boot/config-2.6.33.7-rt29.45.el5rt # CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI is not set # CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON is not set
4 months later. Any comments on this?
We do not support virtualization in the RT kernel, either as a host or as a guest. If we turn these on, it implies support, so we cannot.
