Title:
Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) guests can't boot on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) QEMU-
KVM host
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “qemu-kvm” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
For a couple of days I'm trying (on and off) to launch Ubuntu 12.04
guest (32-bit) on my 10.04 KVM host (AMD CPU in 32-bit mode with PAE
enabled, stock server kernel). I have tried it with different images
(built with VMBuilder, downloaded from cloud-images.ubuntu.com or even
the installation ISO images of different flavors). They all hang on
boot, either after saying "Starting up ..." or just with a black
screen. Kernel options have no effect, it seems the hang happens in
GRUB, before kernel is launched. I have tried enabling debug in grub
and the last lines I see about loading initrd, malloc and several
reallocator.c traces, then hang.
A simple steps to reproduce:
# wget http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/release-20120822/ubuntu-12.04-server-cloudimg-i386-disk1.img
# qemu-img convert -O qcow2 ubuntu-12.04-server-cloudimg-i386-disk1.img moa.qcow2
# kvm -m 512 -smp 1 -drive file=./moa.qcow2 -vnc 127.0.0.1:10
In attached vnc client this briefly displays GRUB prompt and hangs
with black screen.
The same happens without image conversion step, that is
# kvm -m 512 -smp 1 -drive file=./ubuntu-12.04-server-cloudimg-i386-disk1.img -vnc 127.0.0.1:10
At the same time, the host perfectly runs about 10 Lucid guests, so
this should not be a host configuration problem.
