Fedora Virt Status Update

Mark McLoughlin composed[1] another informative weekly update on the status of virtualization development in Fedora. Some highlights included:

  • A pvmmu problem casues some guest installs on an F11 Alpha host to oops during heavy network activity (RHBZ #480822)
  • Work has begun on Fedora 11 virtualization release notes.
  • The 0.6.0 release of Package-x-generic-16.pnglibvirt was not completely without problems.
  • All Fedora 11 virtualization features can be found all together.
  • The KVM/QEmu merge project has settled on a naming scheme.
  • KVM PCI device assignment continues to have issues. The "core of the problem is that devices must be reset before being assigned if they have been previously used in the host."
  • The addition of bzImage loading support to the Xen hypervisor is enabling users to build test Dom0 kernels.
  • A detailed of accounting reveals the bug count going from 191 to 192.

Merging KVM and QEmu Packages

A feature[1] in the works for Fedora 11 is a merge of the Package-x-generic-16.pngkvm package with the Package-x-generic-16.pngqemu package. Glauber Costa recently took the first step in this process by creating a test build[2] and starting a very long thread[3] on naming of all the subpackages which will soon make up QEmu.
