Subject: kvm-85 won't boot guests with virtio block device
|
|
|
|
Hi,
|
|
|
|
To follow up on the issues with kvm-85 and libvirt I discovered the following
|
|
issue: libvirt detects from the help of qemu which options it can give to
|
|
qemu. (in this case obviously /usr/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -help)
|
|
|
|
If you look carefully to the output of the -help of qemu from kvm-84 and
|
|
kvm-85, you will notice the boot flag to the -drive option has disappeared!
|
|
Hence letting libvirt believe it isnt allowed to use it, hence the unable
|
|
to boot error.
|
|
|
|
A small patch which fixes the problem for me, is attached.
|
|
|
|
Met vriendelijke groet,
|
|
Pauline Middelink
