https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=417834 Summary: Virtualization: KVM package disallows "-no-kvm" parameter Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: al4321@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Hi, In openSUSE packaged version of KVM, it is not possible to use "-no-kvm" command parameter. Upstream KVM package allows this. This parameter disabled kernel acceleration (KVM) module, and runs in software emulation mode. Without this, it's very difficult to debug end-user problems. Of course pure Qemu can be used, but KVM's userspace is modified Qemu, so it makes sense sometimes to use KVM with "-no-kvm" parameter. (for debugging purposes and troubleshooting of end-user's problems). In order to allow emulation: -we need either to see if it can run using GCC4 compiler. or -if GCC4 won't work, we can "embed" GCC3, like Qemu SRPM does. Please forward this problem to "Qemu" or "KVM" package maintainers. -Alexey "Technologov", 16.8.2008. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
