KVM-17 & WinXP network setup hangs
Hello KVM devs,
I've just downloaded and checked out KVM-17. I tried installing a Windows XP SP2 guest, using the following script (notice how I did NOT use the '-no-acpi' flag):
qemu -hda /var/vm/img/WinXP.img -cdrom/var/vm/iso/WinXP.iso -boot d -m 512
The first phase of installation went straight without any problem - and it was quite faster than previous releases! Then, when the guest had to reboot, KVM crashed with the following output:

Not a big problem though, I just manually restarted it and kept going on with the second phase of the installation.
This is where I got the big problem: after installing the devices and asking for the cd-key (among other things), the guest totally *stalled* while configuring the network. It just says "Installing the network...", but the progress bar is frozen - and there's no output on the shell. I've also tried with the '-net nic,model=rtl8139' flag, but the result was the same. I'm unable to complete the installation.
Is there a work-around for this?
Thanks!

It may be related to unsynced timestamp counters. Can you try prefixing your command with 'taskset 1'? Like so:
taskset 1 qemu -hda ...

Hi,
Do you use a software bridge and a tun/tap device ?
If you do, what is your network configuration (host + guest) ?
If you do not, search the list to find how to do it.
You'll need to setup a bridge (either manually or using an init script posted), and add a '-net tap,script=/etc/kvm/qemu-ifup' to qemu command line.
Hope that helps,
Uri.
