Bug#581596: linux-2.6: pxe-booting a qemu-kvm or kvm guest with virtio network (fai-client) produces kernel panic
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-12
Severity: normal
-- System Information:
Debian Release: 5.0.4
APT prefers stable
APT policy: (990, 'stable')
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)
Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores)
Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
This bug was introduced by 2.6.32-12 and working fine with 2.6.32-11, I believe i firstly tested it with a 2.6.30 from squeeze.
pxe-booting from a virtio device is not working with standard lenny kernel (2.6.26...) -> also a kernel panic,
that's why I backported a newer one.
Some further information:
qemu-kvm host:

fai-server:
