Package: qemu-kvm
Version: 1.0+dfsg-11
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I have two working Windows XP/Pro VMs, one 32bit and one 64bit, that run
fine on my older
Phenom II based machine. However, they run into all kinds of errors when
I copy the img files
to my FX6100 based computer. Often Windows will fail to reach the login
screen. If I do get
logged in, Windows hangs shortly afterward.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Copying the img files back to a rebuilt Phenom II machine allowed them
to run again. And I
can access them remotely from my FX6100 machine. However, the img files
on my FX6100 still
fail to run preoperly locally.
* What was the outcome of this action?
It appears that the img files are not compatible with the FX6100.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expect the img files to run regardless of which AMD64 compatible
processor hosts them.

Here virtual winXP runs just fine on a bulldozer cpu, I can run it on either
bulldozer, old turion (first-gen x2 64) or on a sandy bridge cpu -- the same
image.
So I need a way to reproduce this issue somehow. At least, full command line
you use to start it.

They're started with virt-mgr (see attached xml files).
The img was originally created using a Phenom II system. When I changed
the main board and processor, it stopped running properly. When I built
a new system using my old board & processor, I copied the img files to
it and they worked fine. I can even access them remotely from my
Bulldozer/FX6100 system. However, the local img files don't work
directly on the Bulldozer system.
Note that the img files on the Phenom II system are copies of the ones
that don't work on the Bulldozer/FX6100 system.

Please read again what I asked for. Qemu-kvm COMMAND LINE please.
Also, please perform another winXP installation on the new
hardware (on bulldozer) and check if that one will work.
I think this is the very obvious thing to try, even before
submitting such a bugreport.
Please note that the bulldozer system I mentioned in the
previous email wasn't mine, but I ran my virtual winXP in
there just in order to run symantec partition magic to
resize win7 partitions in there. I'm unsure I will have
access to it in a reasonable future.
Thank you.

How do I get a command line from virt-mgr?
Secondly, whether or not I can create a new virtual machine is a
different issue. I shouldn't have to create new virtual machines every
time I upgrade my system. One virtual machine should be able to run on
different processors, especially when they are as similar as Phenom II
and Bulldozer. According to what I've read, I should even be able to
migrate a VM from AMD to Intel.

It should be available in the log, and shown by ps.

That's exactly how it is here: no matter which CPU I run it on, it works.
It is possible however to make a (physical) winXP confused by upgrading
physical CPU.

I'm confused by your statement about the physical WInXP. Granted, I
can't upgrade the mainboard and processor on a physical Windows computer
without Windows complaining but that's mainly a licensing issue. Once
the proper drivers are installed, it should work.
With a virtual machine, I thought the machine pretty much stayed the
same despite differences in the host architecture.

Umm. That's what I was afraid of. Most important thing, cpu type, is not
specified at all. And there, qemu-kvm gives some mix of a pseudo-cpu and
real host cpu to the guest.
Please try running your guest -- with -snapshot maybe -- with -cpu host
and -cpu kvm64. It might be enough. One possible reason of this issue
is that with the default pseudo-cpu, some extra CPUID levels which a
bulldozer have gets exposed to the guest but should not.
Also, you may try some specific cpu model, like -cpu phenom.
> I'm confused by your statement about the physical WInXP. Granted, I can't upgrade the mainboard and processor on a physical Windows computer without Windows complaining but that's mainly a licensing issue. Once the proper drivers are installed, it should work.
I'm not talking about licensing issues - even if license is at problem,
windows should at least start and display the license warning somehow.
But in practice, it occured more than once when that wasn't possible.
Maybe due to drivers - for example, once AMD CPUFREQ drivers are installed
on windowsXP, this image can't be run on an Intel machine anymore, it will
crash (BSOD) at boot. Sometimes the same happens when different chipset
drivers are installed (so it looks like different drivers may not be
compatible with each other). Ofcourse we don't have that case here, I'm
just trying to say that things aren't always simple.
And this is one of the reasons why I'd say installing a virtual machine
afresh on bulldozer is the first thing to do in such a situation -- to
determine if it does not work at all on bulldozer or only when installed
on pre-bulldozer.
> With a virtual machine, I thought the machine pretty much stayed the same despite differences in the host architecture.
If you explicitly specify devices, yes. But you didn't: you didn't specify
the CPU. This makes a whole lot of a difference. And this is exactly why
I asked for the command line (resulting, after your libvirt translation).
Thanks,

I've tried running it with various cpu models. Using virt-manager, I get
the option to "Copy host CPU configuration", which worked about as well
as kvm64, Opteron_G4 and qemu64 (i.e. didn't work - still hangs or blue
screens). Choosing Phenom gives me a start-up message that guest CPU is
not compatible with host CPU. That just about exhausts the list of 64bit
AMD processors.
When I try to set the CPU model on the remote VM to kvm64, I get an
"Error starting domain: internal error Unknown CPU model kvm64" (the
same for Operton_G4). The only models that worked were Phenom and
qemu64. However, Phenom doesn't seem to be compatible with Bulldozer...
I assume that part of the problem is the remote machine is running
Squeeze and not Wheezy, so it doesn't recognize the full range of
processors.
I've got it set to qemu64 for now. I'll copy that img to my Bulldozer
machine and see if I can run it locally.

OK, the img that worked on my Phenom II system using qemu64 as the CPU
doesn't work on my Bulldozer system using the same CPU setting. That
would suggest that qemu64 doesn't do a complete emulation. I'm getting
something carried over from the host CPU.

I just tried repairing the install, which didn't work. Neither did
overwriting the install with a fresh one. Is there something in the img
file that remembers what it was created on? Otherwise I'm at a loss to
explain why I can't get Windows XP to run.
BTW: I also tried to create a fresh virtual machine using virt-manager
and failed. I get "Uncaught error validating install parameters:
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'set_parent'" when I try to create
any Windows XP virtual machine.

I finally bit the bullet to try a fresh install from the command line.
After much gnashing of teeth, the command line I came up with is:
virt-install -n ghostwheel --cpu kvm64 -c
"/home/garydale/Downloads/WindowsXPPro64.iso" --os-variant=winxp64
--disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/ghostwheel.img,size=20,format=raw
--controller=sata --ram=1024 --graphics vnc -v
Unfortunately, the install hung after copying the files - while starting
the graphical display. I've tried this a couple of times with minor
variations on the parameters but I always get the same result.
--------------------------
I just tried repairing the install, which didn't work. Neither did
overwriting the install with a fresh one. Is there something in the img
file that remembers what it was created on? Otherwise I'm at a loss to
explain why I can't get Windows XP to run.
BTW: I also tried to create a fresh virtual machine using virt-manager
and failed. I get "Uncaught error validating install parameters:
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'set_parent'" when I try to create
any Windows XP virtual machine.

virt-install is difficult thing, you can't really control qemu-kvm using it.
Also, --controller=sata is unlikely to work with qemu-kvm 1.0.
Please try something much simpler. Like this:
qemu-img create ghostwheel.img 20G <= this will zero-out the file if it exists.
kvm -cdrom WindowsXPPro64.iso -drive file=ghostwheel.img,cache=unsafe -m 1G -cpu qemu64
(it will open an X window with guest console. Ofcourse it needs permissions to
access /dev/kvm, but this is trivial to achieve, just add yourself to kvm group).

This is a bug in virt-manager/libvirt.

Thanks. I'm actually trying another virt-installer install using qemu64
instead of kvm64 and it has progressed to the "Installing windows"
stage, but seems to be taking a long time with no progress. I know it
hasn't hung because the message on the right side of the panel changes
from time to time and the lights along the bottom-right also keep
cycling through their loop.
I'll give it a while longer before giving up.

It doesn't open an X window. It complains about:
No protocol specified
Could not initialize SDL(No available video device) - exiting
Now I seem to have SDL installed. However, searching through the kvm
documentation to find information about SDL is almost as hard as
searching through the SDL documentation...

Run xterm without qemu-kvm and get it to work. First.
Next qemu-kvm will work too.

I can sympathize with your frustration. :)
xterm runs fine. I can type in xterm from konsole and it launches as
expected when I run it as a normal user. When I run it as root however,
I get:
Warning: This program is an suid-root program or is being run by the
root user.
The full text of the error or warning message cannot be safely formatted
in this environment. You may get a more descriptive message by running the
program as a non-root user or by removing the suid bit on the executable.
xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: %s
Conversely, when I run kvm as a normal user (who is in the kvm group), I
got an access denied error. It seems that the new image was only rw for
root. I fixed this with chown libvirt-qemu:kvm. This allowed me to
continue the setup. However it seemed to be hanging in the same spot so
I've created a new image and restarted the process.
It's getting further this time...

OK, so the Windows install is still hanging. This time it stopped when
looking for devices. That's a little further than it got when I used
virt-manager to install over the existing image.
Since this is a brand new image file, it suggests that there is a
problem with the kvm software running on my particular system.

Message #112 received at 676950@bugs.debian.org (full text, mbox, reply):
After further experimenting, I note that kvm run from the command line
allows for -cpu phenom, while virt-manager doesn't.
Nonetheless, I'm getting the Windows XP install hanging very early in
the process, just after copying the files and rebooting into a graphical
environment. It does this more or less the same no matter which
processor I select.
The install isn't locked up. The message screen keeps changing, but it
never progresses past that point.
I had more luck earlier when I was trying to run existing images. At
least they would sometimes let me log in before freezing or blue-screening.
As I said in my previous e-mail, it appears that something is not
working in kvm on my system. If it's not the bulldozer processor, then
possibly it's the associated chip set.
The only clue I have is that the behaviour during the clean installs is
more consistent than what I was experiencing running pre-existing
images. When I select -cpu qemu64 or -cpu phenom the install hangs after
bringing up the graphical display showing "installing system" and 39
minutes remaining.
When I select -cpu kvm64, it locks up with a grey screen before bringing
up the "installing system" progress screen. If I shut down the vm and
restart it, I end up back at the same point as with the other cpus.
To be clear, my Debian/Wheezy system is otherwise functioning properly,
other than the occasional glitch to be expected from testing software.

Oh well.
I'm sorry I went away from keyboard for two weeks and weren't able to
deal with this properly. It is more: since I don't have any
Bulldozer CPUs around, it's difficult for me to do anything at all... :(
Anyway. I uploaded a new release of qemu-kvm, 1.1-z0+dfsg-1, to
-unstable, does that one work any better for you?
Thank you for the patience!

I'm getting an error when I try to create a new virtual machine using

kvm -cdrom WindowsXPPro64.iso -drive file=ghostwheel.img,cache=unsafe -m 1G -cpu qemu64).

That's got some things working. The virtual machine I had previously
started installing XP64 on has completed the install (after picking up
where it previously hung) and is now installing SP2. However, another
new VM I tried creating (with XP64) using the commands above, hung
during the install.
My pre-existing XP32 VM really doesn't work. It blue-screens during the
startup and goes back to the start options screen (safe mode, last good,
etc.). In safe mode, it just goes back to the start options after a
couple of seconds.

Did you try restartin this install process?

Can you see which STOP code it shows in the BSOD ?
You can hit F8 during winXP boot screen to show the boot menu
(where safe mode can be choosen too), and choose to disable
automatic reboot in case of error - this way it is posisble
to actually read the BSOD. There, it looks like
STOP 0x1234567, arguments (0x12345, 0x12345, 0x12345, ...)
this is the most important information. It shows WHY it stopped.
Thank you!

Yes. It stops at the same old point - when it's showing "installing
software", changing the message on the left, but not progressing.

Sorry, I can't see an option to disable the automatic reboot.
However, I did some comparing between my 64bit and 32bit VMs and found
the 32bit was using SATA. I changed that to IDE and it's running now.
So it looks like the new software is letting existing XP VMs run but
still not letting me create a new 64bit XP VM (haven't tried 32bit).
One other issue, I'm now getting a Windows dialogue on startup about new
hardware - a HD audio device. No complaints there, but do you know off
the top of your head where I can find a driver for it? If not, I'll try
to google it.

Hello.
I'm rehashing older bugreports now, and this one is from 2012.
Do you still have problems described in there?
I still don't have any AMD system around, but reportedly
qemu/kvm works on these just fine nowadays (and worked
before bulldozer too).
Thanks,
/mjt

Version: 1:3.1+dfsg-1
This is an old bugreport sitting here for a few years with status
"moreinfo". Closing it now (with buster version), hopefully the
issue has been fixed quite some time ago, or it become irrelevant
due to ageing of the hardware.
If the issue still exists, please reopen this bugreport.
Thanks,
/mjt
