hello,
i tried upgrading the server to 1.8; and i am finding that it just does not work at all.
the box boots, but takes longer then expected.
and then it does not run any guest OS - not even vanilla Ubuntu 10.04
i checked the system to see if kvm was enabled. and it seems fine in the BIOS (i did not change any setting between upgrading and rebooting) and within the OS. see below:
but when trying to start a VM (using kvm) i get the following message on /var/log/syslog:
i am particularly intrigued by the statement of:
kvm: enabling virtualization on CPU0 failed
in the log message, since KVM seems to be enabled on this machine.
other details on this installation:
pveversion
pve-manager/1.8/5754
besides downgrading to previous version of kernel. is there any suggestion on how to fix this behaviour?
please let me know if you require further info to help.
many thanks,
Nicolas
