Description Richard W.M. Jones 2011-04-27 07:39:48 UTC
+++ 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

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.

# 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?

Comment 2 Clark Williams 2011-07-12 14:19:47 UTC
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.
