Title: Endian 2.4 stability (on qemu/kvm)
Post by: deadmalc on Wednesday 02 June 2010, 06:43:47 am
Has anyone else experienced severe problems with 2.4?

I've had constant issues that seem to be related to the disc I/O layer so I've had to revert to 2.3 :-(

Cheers,

Malcolm

Only two users (six systems connected), low usage.
I'm now leaning towards the problem being configuration of the guest (kvm/qemu) rather than endian.
I've reinstalled using more basic settings and disabled acpi etc. in the guest, at the moment it seems fine.

Until now I've only found the following qemu/kvm related problem:
bugs.endian.it/view.php?id=1116

* virtio for NIC's is now working with EFW 2.4 *  :)

Just noticed this, makes a huge difference. But you have to enable this after install - easy enough :-D

Any chance of a respin with the virtio disc drivers in the initrd  ;)

that would be nice... but i think it would also be okay, to just release a new update package

I can't seem to get 2.4 stable, postfix hangs and the only way to restart it is to reboot the box.
It seems to lock running the aliases command and a not even a kill -9 will not kill the process.
So for the moment I've regressed to 2.3, lets hope 2.4.1 isn't too far away :-D

Hoping this is related to the "segfault in fetchipac  bug"
