[pve-devel] Possible bug

[Michael Rasmussen]

Hi all,

Yesterday I might have discovered a bug in either Debian or the new
KVM-1.7.

Howto reproduce:
1) Install Debian Wheezy from install media. For demonstration purpose
stick to the bare minimum.
2) Choose use entire disk using LVM. Accept suggested layout from the
installer
3) After successful reboot login and change sources in sources.list to
point to Debian Unstable.
4) Run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade.
5) Reboot

After upgrading to Debian Unstable the VM can no longer start since the
loader is not able to find root file system. Choosing a different
kernel emulation than default kvm64 does not fix the problem.

There is no problem if you choose to install without LVM but using LVM
will render the system unbootable.

Specs for host:
Version: AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1045T Processor
