Hello all,

is there some simple way to disable pci hotplug support in qemu-kvm (via 
some command-line options or alike)?

Problem is, my guest windows xp is thinking that it could attempt to 
remove Intel 82371SB, Cirrus Logic 5446, and other pci devices, and 
enumerates them all under "Safe remove" which is somewhat annoying and 
maybe risky. I'm using qemu-kvm 0.12.3 as per opensuse 11.3.

I've searched for a whole day and only found this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=579737
Ok, I've built bios-nohotplug.bin (using 
kvm-Build-an-additional-bios-without-hotplug-support.patch from redhat's 
.srpm, then replacing standard bios.bin) but it didn't seem to make any 
difference.

Any hints?

Thanks,
Nikolai

Hello again,

Ok, actually kvm-Build-an-additional-bios-without-hotplug-support.patch 
from redhat did the trick. (I just somehow screwed it initially)

Still, some more user-friendly way would be nice...

Regards,
Nikolai
