Description AL13N 2013-03-17 10:01:00 CET

this message appears as first message after booting a kvm install (first boot)

Failed to access perfctr msr (MSR c0010001 is ffffffffffffffff)

then a few systemd message with the last three being:

[FAILED] Failed to start Wait for Plymouth Boot Screen to Quit.
[ OK ]   Reached Multiuser target
[ OK ]   Reached Graphical target

after that, nothing happens....

Reproducible:

i can go into vt2 and login nongraphically there...

Comment 2 AL13N 2013-03-17 11:03:22 CET

X logfile mentions that cirrus driver can't be loaded since it's in used by other driver.

but cirrus kernel module is loaded...


switching to qxl: ABI does not match (12) version does not match server version (13). (host system is mga2)

switching to vga: success.


installing a cauldron VM via KVM seems to be quite the hassle.

still in Mageia 3, perhaps we need an errata for this...

Priority: Normal => release_blocker
