similar to: kvm module and boot order

Hi, I am trying to create a guest machine on xen virtualized environment and install rhel on it by booting from cdrom. I face a issue in booting device. I gave boot order as hd,cdrom. When doing maiden installation, it will find nothing in hard disk and boots from cd. Once installation is completed and when it boots next time it boots from hard disk. It is the expected behaviour. But it fails to

Is there a method to control module load order? I want to ensure that the e1000 module loads before the forcedeth driver. Jerry

Hi there, I'm trying to get the game Halflife working with Wine. I downloaded the latest Wineversion with CVS. I built it with : # ./configure --prefix=/usr/wine --enable-opengl # make depend && make && make install Then I insert the halflife cdrom and do: # mount /mnt/cdrom # cd /mnt/cdrom # wine SETUP.EXE It loads up the Halflife install wizard (progressbar goes from 0 to

The boot order issue http://osdir.com/ml/libvir-list/2009-08/msg00398.html resolved with the code changes specified by http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-August/msg00340.html seems to suggest that hard disks, cdroms, floppy devices (since they are all disks) are ordered primarily by virtual bus type as encountered in the domain xml. This indicates that there can exist a

I am looking for an ATA like device but instead of VOIP to analog phone I want VOIP to low level audio out. Something that looks like a sound card output. I know I can use cheap PC's but that then you have HD's to setup etc... HD failures etc... Anyone know of something like that? Jerry

Package: xen-utils-common Version: 4.0.0-1 Severity: normal This is an offshoot of Bug#588888, but is really a separate issue. It appears that with hvmloader, the disk device names presented to the vm must by from a specific set that hvmloader knows how to emulate. Names like hd[a-c] and sd[a-c] work, but sr0 does not. While this makes sense, when you think about what hvmloader is doing, it is

Hello, hope all are well. Am I missing something? If I add a cdrom and change boot order in a running vm with virsh edit, I have to shutdown the vm and restart to see the change in boot order. I can not just restart the vm via reboot inside the vm or virsh reboot vm. I don't see anything under /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/saved where I might expect conflict if I was battling against a saved

Hello, To explore kvm installs via Virt-Manager, I tried win7 installs in 3 different hosts. All 3 have 2G of RAM or more. Windows 7 Ultimate in 2.5 GB DVD ISO 1) Centos 5.4, AMD am2, Athlon 64 x2 4600+ works 2nd attempt after setup of Br0 (bridged network) virt-manager-0.6.1-8.el5 kvm-83-105.el5_4.13 2) OpenSuSE 11.2, AMD am2, Athlon 64 x2 5200+ works with defaults

As a regular user, member of the libvirt group, I run this command to create a basic VM: virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name=test --ram 2048 --cpu host-model-only --os-variant=win7 --disk /myVM/test --boot cdrom,hd --virt-type kvm --graphics spice --controller scsi,model=virtio-scsi --cdrom=/drawer/myIso/w8.iso It returns an error : --------------------------------- Starting install...

Hi Daniel, I have noticed that it will fail exactly as you said if <cdrom> is first in the boot order, if <hd> is first in the boot order the XML validates and it starts as usual. first in log except below is with cdrom set to first in boot order, second is with hd set first. 2018-08-09 11:39:28.625+0000: starting up libvirt version: 3.9.0, package: 14.el7_5.6 (CentOS BuildSystem

I have a libvirt/kvm setup on a Gentoo system which I've been using happily for a couple of years. Recently, after a round of updates, I started encountering all sorts of strange behavior, which I'll mostly skip for now... My current issue is that guest domains appear to be ignoring changes made with 'virsh edit <domain>'. Two examples: My primary desktop VM is crashing on

I'm a newbie to WINE. I'm running WINE 0.0.20050211-1 with kernel 2.6.10 and the Debian distribution. I CD to /cdrom and issue the command wine install.exe and the Quicken 2000 install starts. I immediately get a message from Quicken that there is insufficient temp space to perform the install. I have no clue about how to proceed. If someone has a HOWTO to get Quicken 2000 working, that

Is there a way to use kvm-amd on centos 5.1? I dont want to mess with XEN. I want the hardware virtualization that is on my AMD chip. I played with putting 2.6.24 and centos 5.1 on my AMD laptop, got kvm-amd and that works. However I want to put this on my desktop that is running 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5. Is there a way or do I just wave to use 2.6.24 or 25. Thanks, Jerry

Hi all, I'm having problems with a vm's startup, I cloned the entire disk of a Windows 2000 with dd on a drbd device, that disk was configured with two partitions. I'm able to see all the partitions contents by using kpartx and mount them: # kpartx -l /dev/drbd0 drbd0p1 : 0 202751488 /dev/drbd0 32 drbd0p2 : 0 285567360 /dev/drbd0 202751520 The problem is that when i try to startup

hi all I have something like 3000 log files in a directory (from data collection). At 4am in the morning cron runs a script of mine that essentiallly trims all files in that directory back to a certain size. Basically does a "tail -c XXXX filename > tmp_filename" I have noticed that only around the 4am-4:15 time frame when the trim is happening does my other process log connection

Hi all I just update the package above. on 0.12 my qemu window opened on my X server as a window. Now it starting in a VNC session. How do I get it back to opening in a window on the X screen as the default? Thanks, Jerry

I have something like 300G I routinely backup. This includes some large 12Gig images and other files. I had been using ext3 on an external USB disk for part of the process. Under ext3 doing "rsync -a /home /mnt/external_back/backup.jun.27.2011" it took 200 minutes. I took the same computer, same external HD and reformatted it for ext4 (mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdd1). I then started the same

Previously we used SCSI when VirtIO wasn't available. KVM's SCSI support is not as mature as its IDE support, and SCSI isn't supported at all in RHEV. --- lib/Sys/VirtV2V/Converter.pm | 50 +++++++++++------- lib/Sys/VirtV2V/Converter/Linux.pm | 19 ++++--- lib/Sys/VirtV2V/GuestOS/RedHat.pm | 100 ++++++++++++++++++++---------------- 3 files changed, 100 insertions(+), 69
