Hi, The message log belongs to the guest which will become unresponsive from time to time. I have done the following and it report the same both on host as well as guest: [root@localhost conf]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/tainted 65
65 = 1 + 64
1 - A module with a non-GPL license has been loaded, this includes modules with no license. 64 - The user has asked that the system be marked "tainted". This could be because they are running software that directly modifies the hardware, or for other reasons.
So, you won't be able to get any help from kernel people (probably) unless you can reproduce the problem without any binary kernel modules.
The OP's kernel is apparently "Tainted" as seen on this line:
Oct 14 16:24:49 localhost kernel: Pid: 2363, comm: ntpd Tainted: P 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 #1
However, what is strange is (now this is going to be off-topic here) that systems loaded with kmod-kvm show:
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/tainted 64 $ rpm -qi kmod-kvm | grep License Size : 4614945 License: GPLv2
Despite the fact the kvm module is GPL'd, the value of tainted is non-zero. This kernel is supposed to be NOT tainted. Could someone using kvm confirm this ?
