KVM FC12 guest save not working ??

Howdy

I am using Fedora12 with KVM, with XP64pro as a guest. Everything seems to be working just fine, BUT I can't Save. When I do instruction KVM to save, I get a continuing Saving display, but it continues for a long time until I finally terminate it due to boredom

I have let it run for 30 minutes before terminating. It Does create a file but the size nevers gets larger than 1.5Kb. No error messages are displayed.

I can Clone and use the clone image, but I wanted to save snap shots as I play with the guest.

What can I do to trouble shoot to see whats happening and to learn more?
Thanks in advance.

I am using an i7 cpu, 8G ram, and WD1T with lots of room

perf-list

PERF-LIST(1)							    perf Manual 						      PERF-LIST(1)

NAME

       perf-list - List all symbolic event types

SYNOPSIS

       perf list [hw|sw|cache|tracepoint|pmu|event_glob]

DESCRIPTION

       This command displays the symbolic event types which can be selected in the various perf commands with the -e option.

EVENT MODIFIERS

       Events can optionally have a modifer by appending a colon and one or more modifiers. Modifiers allow the user to restrict the events to be
       counted. The following modifiers exist:

	   u - user-space counting
	   k - kernel counting
	   h - hypervisor counting
	   G - guest counting (in KVM guests)
	   H - host counting (not in KVM guests)
	   p - precise level
	   S - read sample value (PERF_SAMPLE_READ)
	   D - pin the event to the PMU

       The p modifier can be used for specifying how precise the instruction address should be. The p modifier can be specified multiple times:

	   0 - SAMPLE_IP can have arbitrary skid
	   1 - SAMPLE_IP must have constant skid
	   2 - SAMPLE_IP requested to have 0 skid
	   3 - SAMPLE_IP must have 0 skid

       For Intel systems precise event sampling is implemented with PEBS which supports up to precise-level 2.

       On AMD systems it is implemented using IBS (up to precise-level 2). The precise modifier works with event types 0x76 (cpu-cycles, CPU
       clocks not halted) and 0xC1 (micro-ops retired). Both events map to IBS execution sampling (IBS op) with the IBS Op Counter Control bit
       (IbsOpCntCtl) set respectively (see AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Volume 2: System Programming, 13.3 Instruction-Based Sampling).
       Examples to use IBS:

	   perf record -a -e cpu-cycles:p ...	 # use ibs op counting cycles
	   perf record -a -e r076:p ... 	 # same as -e cpu-cycles:p
	   perf record -a -e r0C1:p ... 	 # use ibs op counting micro-ops

RAW HARDWARE EVENT DESCRIPTOR

       Even when an event is not available in a symbolic form within perf right now, it can be encoded in a per processor specific way.

       For instance For x86 CPUs NNN represents the raw register encoding with the layout of IA32_PERFEVTSELx MSRs (see [Intel(R) 64 and IA-32
       Architectures Software Developer's Manual Volume 3B: System Programming Guide] Figure 30-1 Layout of IA32_PERFEVTSELx MSRs) or AMD's
       PerfEvtSeln (see [AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Volume 2: System Programming], Page 344, Figure 13-7 Performance Event-Select
       Register (PerfEvtSeln)).

       Note: Only the following bit fields can be set in x86 counter registers: event, umask, edge, inv, cmask. Esp. guest/host only and OS/user
       mode flags must be setup using EVENT MODIFIERS.

       Example:

       If the Intel docs for a QM720 Core i7 describe an event as:

	   Event  Umask  Event Mask
	   Num.   Value  Mnemonic    Description			Comment

	   A8H	    01H  LSD.UOPS    Counts the number of micro-ops	Use cmask=1 and
				     delivered by loop stream detector	invert to count
									cycles

       raw encoding of 0x1A8 can be used:

	   perf stat -e r1a8 -a sleep 1
	   perf record -e r1a8 ...

       You should refer to the processor specific documentation for getting these details. Some of them are referenced in the SEE ALSO section
       below.

OPTIONS

       Without options all known events will be listed.

       To limit the list use:

	1. hw or hardware to list hardware events such as cache-misses, etc.

	2. sw or software to list software events such as context switches, etc.

	3. cache or hwcache to list hardware cache events such as L1-dcache-loads, etc.

	4. tracepoint to list all tracepoint events, alternatively use subsys_glob:event_glob to filter by tracepoint subsystems such as sched,
	   block, etc.

	5. pmu to print the kernel supplied PMU events.

	6. If none of the above is matched, it will apply the supplied glob to all events, printing the ones that match.

       One or more types can be used at the same time, listing the events for the types specified.
