HI!
On one qemu-kvm instance a kernel update failed and booting the image is not
possible anymore (see below). A dozen other VMs are correctly working after the
upgrade. Anything I can quickly try to make it work again?
What do you mean by "update failed"? Was the update cancelled in the
middle, so that there may be newer kernel set up, but modules missing or
something? If the machine was just killed in the middle of writing, the
disk data might be corrupted and it depends on your configuration
whether you just need to check the journal or just re-install it (in
case there is no way to know what parts are corrupted). Try booting the
older kernel (or newer one), or boot a rescue CD and fix the
installation if possible.
In any case, this is not related to qemu, and even more unrelated to
libvirt.
(This is not really a bad emergency case because I could simply
re-install and
re-configure with ansible. But I'd like to learn about these cases...)
Ciao, Michael.
