Subject: [Qemu-devel] Bug: SCSI/VirtIO: VM unable to reboot from non-IDE controller
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2009 12:53:10 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7fac565a0904200253k7ec3e83m28401adea775436f@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi All !
Most Linux VMs (Ubuntu and Red Hat-based systems -- RHEL, Fedora) have
failed during automated tests
on SCSI and VirtIO disks on Qemu/KVM.
It turned out to be a problem of Qemu/KVM, where after a software reboot
(i.e. initiated by guest OS), the system is unable to boot from SCSI
controller.
To reboot successfully you need either soft reboot+IDE or Hard reboot (Qemu
cold boot)+SCSI.
The Command sent to Qemu/KVM:
/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -monitor
tcp:localhost:4602,server,nowait -cdrom /isos/linux/Fedora-8-i386-DVD.iso
-drive file=/vm/fedora8-32.qcow2,if=scsi,boot=on -name fedora8-32
Host: RHEL 5/x64, KVM-85rc6. (tried both Intel and AMD)
Guests: Ubuntu-8.10, RHEL 5, Fedora 8, Fedora 9 (tried both 32 and 64-bit).
Due to lack of Qemu bugzilla -- bugs were opened on Ubuntu Launchpad
and KVM bugzilla.
