Precise kvmhost ends in fsck when adding to a open vswitch on a trusty wirth

[Jan Müller]

How to rebuild:
Install a fresh precise kvm host (current 12.04.4) from an iso on a trusty (14.04) host.
Add precise host to a open vSwitch
Start the machine
machine is fscking forever.

Details:
Installation, etc works fine, until i connect the host to a open vSwitch. (does not matter if I do that befor or after installation. the installation works normally). After adding the open vSwich

`virsh edit <hostname>`
adding
`<interface type='bridge'>
 <source bridge='<ovsbr-name>'/>
 <virtualport type='openvswitch' />
 <model type='virtio'/>
</interface>
`
the vm cannot startup anymore; it hangs in fsck forever(see attached picture). when i delete the open vSwitch interface for the host, it will start again.

tried the same thing with trusty hosts, which works perfectly fine when doing this.

tried installation a few times (checked sha256 sums of iso!), nothing helped.

It’s kinda looks like #1047531 , but I’m not sure.

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. From a terminal window please run:

apport-collect 1326705

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

[Jan Müller (jm-3)]

cannot

apport-collect 1326705

since precise host is hanging in fsck during bootup

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.15 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Precise won't boot connected to Open vSwitch (und without i have no network to install new kernels...)

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue.

However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further testing. This is such a request.

  With the recent release of this Ubuntu release, would like to confirm if this bug is still present. Please test again with the newer kernel and indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not.

You can update to the latest development kernel by simply running the following commands in a terminal window:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Fix Released.

If you want this bot to quit automatically requesting kernel tests, add a tag named: bot-stop-nagging.

 Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it.
