Hello happy people,
I'm back from a two day goose-chase where I was wondering very much why my VMs don't boot.
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2012-February/msg00106.html
In that process I upgraded my entire stack (libvirt, qemu, seabios) but found that the boot hung at SeaBIOS trying to boot from ROM. After stepping through all the arguments libvirt supplied to I found that my <memory>2048</memory> the qemu argument -m 2 (megs) -- which wasn't quite enough. (Similarly, my previously supplied <memory>20480</memory> weren't too much they too were too little to boot a Linux kernel).
I've already talked to the libvirt folks, and they'll try to get in a feature to supply a <memory unit="M"> or similar.
Now I'd like to ask you guys if you could print the amount of RAM available -- like most other BIOSes out there already do - it would be extremely helpful to aid troubleshooting.
Thank you very much in advance.
So long,
i
