(In reply to Markus Armbruster from comment #8) > Error checking and reporting for -kernel, -initrd etc. is as poor as ever. > Here's an example with current upstream: > > $ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -S -display none -kernel /dev/null > qemu: could not load kernel '/dev/null': No such file or directory > > The "No such file or directory" is bogus. > > A reasonably complete fix shouldn't be technically challenging, just tedious > work (the bugs are both in generic and machine-specific code). These are corner-cases we typically don't support anyway (customers don't hit them using libvirt). I'm closing it as WONTFIX. If there are specific use-cases that customers might hit, then please report them. |
