[Qemu-devel] [Bug 532733] Re: apt/dpkg in qemu-system-arm hangs if a big task is installed

[Ricardo Salveti]

After some tests I was able to reproduce the issue on Maverick and with
upstream Qemu (08218b3527301760393b0b4ec732fcdfb7ff6cda).

Also tried stressing the disk with fsstress and dd for many hours, but
couldn't reproduce the issue. The easier way to reproduce it is with
dpkg, but hard to find the exact cause.

My cmd line:
./rootstock --fqdn beagleboard --login ubuntu --password temppwd --seed 
ubuntu-netbook -i 3G --dist lucid --serial ttyS2 --components "main universe 
multiverse" --keepimage

The only thing I changed was the path of qemu-system-arm inside
rootstock, to get the upstream one.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

running rootstock and installing ubuntu-netbook^ makes the VM hang in 
"unpacking iso-codes" this is reproducable every time in rootstock as well as 
in a standard qemu-system-arm vm that contains a minimal ubuntu with running 
apt-get install ubuntu-netbook
