What actually seems to be happening is that ESXi does not believe it is receiving any traffic from the network at all. Running "tcpdump-uw -s0" so that it captures the entirety of the packets makes the "truncated-ip" messages go away. and have now hit the issue whereby networking doesn't seem to work (I'm presenting an e1000 nic to ESXi).Īlthough I did initially see "truncated-ip 246 bytes missing!" in the output from tcpdump-uw when run within ESXi, it looks like that is misleading and not the real problem. Running "echo 1 > /sys/module/kvm/parameters/ignore_msrs" on the KVM host Applying the patch to hw/i386/pc_piix.c from page 1 of this thread, and recompiling qemu I am able to install and boot ESXi 5.5U1 inside KVM (qemu-1.7.0) after: I've just attempted this too, and have had much the same experience.
