Beyond Squeeze, one is forced to use 486 for systems without PAE (physically not available or not choosen to be activated for some reason). On these 32bit systems it is still possible to test and create qemu-vms and lxc-containers with virt-manager.On Fri, Nov 18, 2011 at 10:25:39PM +0100, Marcus Osdoba wrote:Package: linux-image-486 Version: 3.1.1 Severity: important Hi, I have tested virt-manager on my Debian Squeeze on several installations. Unfortunatly it does not work with 486 variant of the kernel [1]. When running the 686 variant, the topology is found in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/ , but not with 486 [2].The 486 flavour only supports a single processor (since all SMP- capable processors also support PAE) so the CPU topology is never very interesting and the code to expose it in sysfs is not built. Maybe it should be, for consistency.
But the standard kernel is not able to do so. If possible, please enable memory_cgroup controller in Squeeze kernel (activated with kernel commandline like in 2.6.39+) -> so it is possible to use 686 from Squeeze then.
I think, one should know, that the 486 does not provide cputopology anymore (for consistency it should, yes). Since some of my boxes are not able/not want to use 686-PAE, I'm in a gap.
Marcus P.S.: Booting version 3.1.1-486 on X40 is another bug for me ;-)
