Hi
I have proxmox running with 1.6 and 2.6.35 kernel. I have 5 VM's that run fine, but one which is proving really problematic. Almost every day it will hang, ie is not reachable from the network or with ssh. The only wait to deal with it is to kill the KVM process. This process will using end up taking 100% of the CPU.
The problems tends to happen sometime after a snapshot has taken place, but sometimes, its ok for a couple of days. I have not yet been able to find out what is going on at the time of the problem, and nothing useful is stored in the logs.
The guest uses Ubuntu 10.04 with Ubuntu desktop on top and uses 2 cpu sockets, and 1 cpu.
load average: 0.64, 0.72, 0.74
CPU(s) 4 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3430 @ 2.40GHz
CPU Utilization 13.80%
IO Delays 0.00%
Version (package/version/build) pve-manager/1.6/5261
Kernel Version Linux 2.6.35-1-pve #1 SMP Tue Oct 26 11:05:44 CEST 2010
I thought i was getting somewhere when i saw
Nov 15 10:25:40 openerp kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI Error: A valid RSDP was not found (20090903/tbxfroot-219)
Nov 15 10:25:40 openerp kernel: [ 0.000000] No NUMA configuration found
Nov 15 10:25:40 openerp kernel: [ 0.000000] Faking a node at 0000000000000000-00000000bb7fd000
in the vm logs, which is related to a bug I read about but switching off acpi in the guest vm config has made no difference.
I have also tried kernel 2.6.18 where it did run fine (which I might have to return to), but 2.6.32 was problematic (ie has the same issue). I'm only KVM at the moment, but would like to stick to 2.6.32 or 2.6.35 if possible. I'm currently using 2.6.35 which again hasn't solved the issue. I could try kvm 0.13, but doubt it will fix the problem.
I would post pveversion but interestingly I get this error:-
vm:/var/log# pveversion
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en_GB.utf8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
pve-manager/1.6/5261
Surely this isn't to blame ? And how can I fix the locales ?
If anyone has any ideas about the hanging guest please get in touch, its been faulty for 6 weeks now, and i need to find a resolution.
