Hi folks,

Ubuntu 8.04 server amd64 - host - headless (w/o X packages)
Ubuntu 6.06 server amd64 - guest - headless (w/o X packages)
KVM

Previously I ran;

# qemu-img create -f qcow2 disk.img 10G

then

# kvm -hda disk.img -cdrom /dev/scd0 -m 512 -boot d

to create a working disk.img. It works on the VM.

But I couldn't create direct on running;

# kvm -hda disk.img -cdrom /dev/scd0 -m 512 -boot d

must be in 2 steps.

Now I tried creating another disk.img but the above steps did not work.

# qemu-img create -f qcow2 ubuntu6.06_080805.img 10G

Code:

Formatting 'ubuntu6.06_080805.img', fmt=qcow2, size=10485760 kB

# kvm -hdb ubuntu6.06_080805.img -cdrom /dev/scd0 -m 512 -boot d -smp 2

Code:

without "-smp 2" still the same.

I don't know what mistake I have committed. I didn't done anything on the host except running apt-get update/upgrade. Please advise.

TIA

Edit:-

I found the cause. It was iptables. After flushing all rules, the problem gone.

Xterm-1
# kvm -hdb ubuntu6.06_080805.img -cdrom /dev/scd0 -m 512 -boot d -smp 2 -vnc :9
(starting)

Xterm-2
$ vncviewer 192.168.0.110:9

viewer popup and installation began. After finish it reboots.

However on Xterm-1
it popup ;-

Code:

kvm_run: failed entry, reason 65535
kvm_run returned -8

Xterm-1
Ran
# kvm ubuntu6.06_080805.img -vnc :0

Xterm-2
$ vncviewer 192.168.0.110:0

viewer starts displaying;

Code:

Any mistake committed? Please advice. TIA

What rule shall I add allowing X forwarding? Shall I do anything on hosts.allow and hosts.deny? TIA
