Using kvm-0.12.3 from BS project Virtualization does not change the behaviour. I have built kvm-0.11.0 (from openSUSE 11.2) for FACTORY, and when using that, I can boot the 11.3m6 iso without problems. Stefan, does http://www.suse.de/~snwint/bnc_599478/test_01.iso work for you? No, does not help. Does it work with current qemu-kvm.git? How about -no-kvm? -no-kvm does not help - see first comment ;) do you have an URL for qemu-kvm.git? I'll have to build it in OBS to test it... still happens with QEMU 0.12.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information (built with SUSE patches forward ported) Next test without SUSE patches... qemu-kvm.git build without SUSE patches also fails the same way. (to be honest: without patches %patch06 onwards, %patch01 - %patch05 still apllied ;) built version was kvm-88-4629-gabdc56b kvm-88 is ancient :). Please try git://git.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu.git and use -enable-kvm as parameter. To configure only i386 as target, use ./configure --target-list=i386-softmmu (or x86_64-softmmu for x86_64). does the bug not show on your system? I am also seeing this problem on MS6 and later isos. qemu-0.12.3 fails kvm-0.12.3 fails vanilla qemu-git fails qemu-0.11.0 works qemu-0.12.3 (and every variant) with openSUSE-KDE-LiveCD-Build0556-i686.iso works This is not SUSE-specific and not KVM-specific. How to reproduce: qemu-kvm -cdrom openSUSE-NET-Build0577-i586.iso or qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom openSUSE-NET-Build0577-i586.iso Other Information: I tried qemu -s and gdb with "target remote localhost:1234" but as I do not have much experience with this setup, I did not get far. It looks as if it is remaining in a busy-loop. During the working animation part, registers were eax 0x0 0 ecx 0xf000f 983055 edx 0x282b 10283 ebx 0x190101 1638657 esp 0x1d2b8 0x1d2b8 ebp 0x3 0x3 esi 0x191eb1 1646257 edi 0x191eb2 1646258 eip 0x77f5 0x77f5 eflags 0x46 [ PF ZF ] cs 0x18 24 ss 0x8 8 ds 0x20 32 es 0x8 8 fs 0x8 8 gs 0x8 8 but after it hung, it was eax 0x11 17 ecx 0xf000f 983055 edx 0x2837 10295 ebx 0x190101 1638657 esp 0x1fc4 0x1fc4 ebp 0x3 0x3 esi 0x191f0d 1646349 edi 0x191f0e 1646350 eip 0x7838 0x7838 eflags 0x6 [ PF ] cs 0x1114 4372 ss 0x1b2e 6958 ds 0x1114 4372 es 0x296 662 fs 0xffff 65535 gs 0xffff 65535 Sorry I haven't been on board with this one - I can reproduce it and will start debugging. Thanks for all your efforts to date. What I'm seeing is that the breakage started in M6 for the *-NET-*.iso images. I'm also suspecting there may be some incompatibility with qemu/qemu-kvm and the current gfxboot.c32 module of isolinux - that is the main thing that changed from M5 to M6, as far as what would be affecting qemu/qemu-kvm booting this iso. (It previously was gfxboot.com, so switch from 16 to 32 bit, and possibly other changes. Steffen W., would you care to comment and look into this a bit from the perspective of the isolinux components? It is true that now a com32 module is used. But that shouldn't change much except for the memory layout. I've no idea what could cause the difference.

Correction - breakage started in milestone 5, not milestone 6. I just remastered openSUSE-KDE-LiveCD-i686-Build0584-Media.iso and found that adding only boot/i386/loader/gfxboot.com from Build0500 made it working again with qemu-0.12.3. The bug is in qemu, as older qemu versions (and physical PCs) still work with gfxboot.c32. It would probably not be hard to bisect this regression as the bug is so easy and fast to trigger. bisected it: fd646122418ecefcde228d43821d07da79dd99bb is first bad commit commit fd646122418ecefcde228d43821d07da79dd99bb Author: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Date: Fri Oct 30 09:06:09 2009 -0500 Switch pc bios from pc-bios to seabios SeaBIOS is a port of pc-bios to GCC. Besides using a more modern tool chain, SeaBIOS introduces a number of new features including PMM support, better BEV and BCV support, and better PnP support.

I'll try to debug to see exactly where were hanging up. FYI: I bisected to the same commit. I hadn't checked that this was in fact still broken in the lastest incarnation of upstream qemu. It is in fact fixed - by the latest seabios rom. I've attached the seabios patch which implemented the fix. I would hope we could update to the latest qemu, kvm, and virt-utils in the next day or two, including seabios. In that event we'd get a fix along with a lot of other fixes. If not this fix could be applied separately. Created attachment 362793 [details]
seabios patch that fixes this issue
This is in 0.12.4? This fix came in after 0.12.4. Then I don't understand comment 20. I definitely veto against going anywhere non-0.12. Also, keep in mind that 0.12.4 has a known bug with migration - IIUC only for 0.12.2 -> 0.12.4, but you never know. So I'd wait until 0.12.4.1 is out in this case. That means we should only cherry-pick known good commits for the time being. We do not want to leave this open in 11.3 meanwhile, one simple workaround is to replace bios.bin with the version from 0.12.4 or HEAD I should be able to get this updated shortly. Fixed kvm checked into devel project, next stop: Factory submitted to Factory (sr 41515) verified to be fixed with http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization/openSUSE_11.1/x86_64/kvm-0.12.3-38.1.x86_64.rpm Fix is also applied to SLES 11 SP1 kvm, for inclusion in first maintenance update.

I'm trying to boot 11.3M6 in a KVM on a FACTORY installed machine. (thinkpad x200s, core2 duo L9400, vmx capable, kvm-0.12.2-3.13.x86_64) Unfortunately, I never get past the first second of graphical boot menu, then qemu-kvm starts spinning with 100% CPU load and nothing happens anymore. I'm starting qemu like this: qemu-kvm -no-quit -m 1024 -hda opensuse-11_3m6.img \ -monitor stdio \ -net nic,model=e1000 -net user,hostname=opensuse-11_3m6 \ -soundhw ac97 -cdrom ../openSUSE-NET-Build0577-i586.iso I tried -no-kvm and -nographic, which both did not help anything. It seems to stop ~1 second into the boot menu, if I hit "space" early enough, I see the boot selection screen (but cannot select anything), if I don't, it stays at the "welcome" screen forever. 11.2 ISOs work fine, as do Fedora12 and debian 5.04 It also does work with kvm-78.0.10.6-0.1.1 on an openSUSE 11.1 host. I'm not sure who's to blame - if the graphical boot code is buggy (but then, why does it work on older kvm), or if kvm is broken, but it is obvious, that nobody ever tried using KVM on FACTORY ;)
