2.6.22-rc1-mm1: strange GPF when panicing under kvm

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When I boot 2.6.22-rc1-mm1 under kvm, but forget to specify a root
filesystem, it panics as expected.  However, when panicing, it gets a
GPF in delay_tsc, and then starts recursively panicing.

I don't really understand what's going on; the instruction it's faulting
on seems to be "pause" (ie, rep;nop), which seems like it shouldn't
fault at all.  It looks like some kvm artifact to me, but I'm not sure.

Hm, given the error code, maybe it's a segment register problem.

VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(254,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
0300    4194304 hda driver: ide-disk
  0301    4192933 hda1
