[Users] Problems with RHEL 5 x86_64 VMs in oVirt 3.3
Hello all, Please, I'm performing tests with oVirt 3.3 and it has been working really well, except the fact that the installation of RHEL 5 VMs is not happening, not sure why. Does anybody else is experiencing the same issue? Details: Reproducible steps: 1) Start the VM via 'Run once" option. 2) Insert the boot parameters, for instance: linux text 3) vmlinuz and initrd are loaded without errors. 4) Black screen with a blinking cursor. 5) Anaconda never come up, Kernel is not loaded apparently. The same behavior occurs with the following versions: RHEL 5.9 x86_64 RHEL 5.8 x86_64 RHEL 5.7 x86_64 VM definitions: Operating System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x x64 Optimized for: Server If I simple change to a RHEL 5.9 32Bits ISO (Even with the 'Operating System' field defined to work for x64), I am able to carry on with the VM installation and everything goes ok. Fedora 18 and 19 for x84_64 works well, also RHEL 6 builds for x86_64. Packages in use: ovirt-engine-3.3.0-1.fc19.noarch qemu-1.4.2-7.fc19.x86_64 qemu-kvm-1.4.2-7.fc19.x86_64 libvirt-1.0.5.5-1.fc19.x86_64 Details and data collected: VM name: tests-rhel5-64bits engine.log vdsm.log qemu process arguments libvirt relevant logs Last test timestamp: 2013-Sep-05, 12:09 VM tests-rhel5-64bits started on Host dell-pe2950-1 Should I file a bug? Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks, Raul.

Hi Itamar, Apparently not. I've just upgraded the engine and the node to the latest stable packages and it is still unable to start up the installation process of RHEL 5 x86_64 based virtual machines. # rpm -q qemu qemu-kvm vdsm qemu-1.4.2-9.fc19.x86_64 qemu-kvm-1.4.2-9.fc19.x86_64 vdsm-4.12.1-2.fc19.x86_64 # rpm -q ovirt-engine ovirt-engine-3.3.0-4.fc19.noarch Does anyone else is facing the same issue?

Hi, In addition to that, can you also please add log/observe the actual qemu command line(from ps). It might be a weird virtual hw combination. What console type do you have? Spice or vnc? Try the other one:) Feel free to open a bug Thanks, michal
thanks, Itamar
