[Bug 589163] [NEW] Cannot start kvm guest

[James Hogarth]

Public bug reported:

Windows XP 32bit guest (and centos 64 bit guest) with virtio
network/disk fails to start.

windows VM:

LC_ALL=C
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin
QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc-0.11 -enable-kvm -m 512 -smp 1
-name Outlook -uuid 88b86722-be7d-bbcc-f98c-2e90a8482b1f -chardev
socket,id=monitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/Outlook.monitor,server,nowait
-monitor chardev:monitor -localtime -boot c -drive

Centos VM:

LC_ALL=C PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc-0.12 -enable-kvm -m 512 -smp 1 -name linuxtest -uuid 7c7aeaba-67e4-9b66-0945-9ef5be2df30c -chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/linuxtest.monitor,server,nowait -monitor chardev:monitor -no-reboot -boot d -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/linuxtest.img,if=virtio,index=0,format=raw -drive file=/home/wizard/isos/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso,if=ide,media=cdrom,index=2 -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:0f:24:a1,vlan=0,model=virtio,name=virtio.0 -net tap,fd=34,vlan=0,name=tap.0 -chardev pty,id=serial0 -serial chardev:serial0 -parallel none -usb -vnc 127.0.0.1:1 -vga cirrus 
char device redirected to /dev/pts/1


VM just shows black screen on start and CPU spins out at max usage but nothing happens in the VM.

Nothing seems to get logged (the bit above is from the libvirt/qemu log
file) but the same VMs work fine on previous kernel of
2.6.32-21-generic.
