Trying to create a Ubuntu 7.10 guest on sn F7 host using a fully virtualised system (I can''t use Xen) Using virt-manager to create the guest, selecting OS to be Linux, type as generic 2.6 kernel The guest refuses to boot! It shows the lines: ----------------------------- Booting from CD-Rom ISOLINUX 3.36 Debian-2007-08-30 Copyright blah.de.blah....... Loading... ---------------------------- And that''s it. Host CPU count goes to the ceiling, but nothing else happens. I get exactly the same behaviour if I do it from the command line with qemu-kvm. The only way I can get it installed is by using qemu -no-kvm After it is installed (which takes hours!) I can run it reasonably well from virt-manager, though mouse behaviour is horrible. When running it from qemu-kvm on the command line the mouse behaves properly. Any thoughts as to what, if anything, I might be doing wrong? JDL
