mandrake-10 not able to boot on kvm-71-73
hi,
mandrake-10 are not able to boot on kvm 71-73 while it's working on kvm-70. we noew try to install a minimal mandrake-10 from it's install cd and after the first boot it has the same error:
lilo can't find keytable (or something like that).
booting from a rescue cd we still able to rerun lilo and it seems to working, but not able to boot.
after we downgrade to kvm-70 the system boot without any problem.

Can you mix and match to see whether it is a userspace problem or kernel problem?
e.g. kvm-71 userspace with kvm-70 modules, kvm-70 userspace with kvm-71 modules.

yes.
kvm-73 with kmod-kvm-70: not working
kvm-70 with kmod-kvm-73: working
is it totally safe to use higher kernel module then usersapce? i can i leave it here as it now?:
kmod-kvm-2.6.18-92.1.10.el5-73-1
kmod-kvm-73-1
kvm-70-1
anyway the exact error message:

So it's userspace breakage.
Can you check with kvm-71 userspace to be certain that the breakage occured in kvm-71?

no it's between 71 and 72 (i'm just not used 71 since it kmod not compiled on rhel-5.2).
the situation is more stranger (but probably another bug) kvm-70 (and kvm-71) with kmod-kvm-73: working if and only if i start mandrake-10 as the first guest, if i start other guest and after i start mandrake-10 (both from command line and virt-manager) i've got this (not too long) error:

bind() failed indicates that you are trying to run more than one guest on the same VNC port that is 127.0.0.1:0 is used on more than one guest so the second one cannot bind to port 5900.

- install a guest mandrake-10 truly minimal install into file image
- upgrade to kvm-76 and the guest no longer boot.

If you have a test machine, it would be good to try it out on Fedora. I don't see how a distro change can cause this though.

ok. now i use a fully updated fedora-9 with kernel-2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686 and kvm-74 (after rebuild fedora/development/source/SRPMS/kvm-74-4.fc10.src.rpm) test this ismage and the same error happened as with rhel/centos-5 x86_64. so it seems to be happened with both 32 and 64 bit and much newer kernel too. which is also strange that the fedora-9's current kvm-65-9.fc9.i386 also produce the same bug.
which means i can't image where did you test it?
can you test it anyhow?
i'm sure it's kvm userspace bug introduced after kvm-71.
