[Bug 681141] Re: kvm 1.84 hangs (host 32 bit meerkat, guest created by vmbuilder)

[Karel Vervaeke]

Ignore my previous post. It worked because I didn't load the kvm_intel
module. (I should have been tipped off by the fact that it was so slow).

with kvm_intel loaded,
pae host + non-pae guest: boots in about 5 seconds (up to the login prompt)
pae host + pae guest: doesn't start up (hangs right after the grub prompt)
non-pae host + non-pae guest: boots in about 5 seconds (up to the login prompt)
non-pae host + pae guest: doesn't start up (hangs right after the grub prompt)

So for my system, the problem occurs when the guest tries to boot a pae kernel. The host kernel doesn't make any difference.
It's not clear to me if (and how) you instruct vmbuilder to build a vm with a non-pae kernel (but that's not really relevant for this bug)
