Whenever the devices work after migration depends on how the guest os handles usb errors. Recent linux kernels just reset+reinitialize hid devices which fail, log a message about it and go on without a hitch. Other guests might be more sensitive, so this could be it, but maybe it isn't. No idea on the rtl issue. cheers, Gerd From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Received: from [140.186.70.92] (port=45585 helo=eggs.gnu.org) by lists.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.43) id 1PozTr-0006nf-S9 for qemu-devel@nongnu.org; Mon, 14 Feb 2011 09:32:49 -0500 Received: from Debian-exim by eggs.gnu.org with spam-scanned (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1PozTn-0007yG-5m for qemu-devel@nongnu.org; Mon, 14 Feb 2011 09:32:44 -0500 Received: from mx1.redhat.com ([209.132.183.28]:61297) by eggs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1PozTm-0007y4-Sx for qemu-devel@nongnu.org; Mon, 14 Feb 2011 09:32:43 -0500 Message-ID: <4D593D03.3070707@redhat.com> Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2011 15:32:35 +0100 From: Gerd Hoffmann MIME-Version: 1.0 References: In-Reply-To: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: [Qemu-devel] Re: Migration of WinXP Guest -> usb+network failure List-Id: qemu-devel.nongnu.org List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , To: Peter Lieven Cc: qemu-devel , kvm@vger.kernel.org On 02/08/11 14:32, Peter Lieven wrote: > Hi, > > is there any known issue when migrating a WinXP SP3 guest with qemu-kvm 0.13.0 or qemu-kvm-0.12.5? > > If I migrate such a guest with a Realtek rtl8139 Network Device and an USB Mouse Tablet > after migration the USB Tablet doesn't work any more and network stalls.
