Create a new KVM virtual machine as follows:
General Tab:
- accept defaults
- choose any name
OS Tab:
- Linux 3.x/2.6 Kernel
CD/DVD:
- ISO image (ubuntu-12.04.1-server-amd64.iso on hard drive)
Hard Disk:
- IDE 0
- local
- size 8 GB
- defaults for format and cache
CPU:
- accept defaults
Memory:
- accept defaults
Network (optional):
- bridged
- virtio (paravirtualized)
Install Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS...
Log in as root and run "lshw". It just displays "DMI" and uses 100% CPU before it finishes several hours later. The output shows lots of meaningless (?) BIOS resources.
Case was reported to Canonical support who could not reproduce the issue using plain KVM. I therefore copied the VM disk image to a Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS machine and started it within Ubuntu's KVM and lshw works fine.
KVM command line on Proxmox is:
KVM command line on Ubuntu is:
pveversion reports
Any hints as to what might cause this problem?
