Description Qunfang Zhang 2013-12-19 07:32:25 UTC

Description of problem:
Boot up a guest with q35 machine type and attach a virtual floppy, however the floppy could not be detected by the guest. Switch to "-M pc" and replace all the "bus=pcie.0" to "bus=pci.0" in the command line, the issue does not exist.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-3.10.0-63.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-24.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a windows guest with -M q35 and attach the virtio-win virtual floppy.

# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M q35 -cpu SandyBridge -enable-kvm -m 4096 -smp 4,sockets=2,cores=2,threads=1 -name win8-64 -uuid 9a0e67ec-f286-d8e7-0548-0c1c9ec93009 -nodefconfig -nodefaults -monitor stdio -rtc base=utc,clock=host,driftfix=slew -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -no-shutdown -usb -device usb-tablet,id=input1 -device usb-mouse,id=mouse  -drive file=/home/win8-32-virtio.raw,if=none,id=drive-sata0-0-0,format=raw,cache=none -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pcie.0,addr=0x5,scsi=off,drive=drive-sata0-0-0,id=sata0-0-0 -drive file=/home/en_windows_8_enterprise_x86_dvd_917587.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-sata0-0-1,readonly=on,format=raw -device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-sata0-0-1,id=sata0-0-1,bootindex=1 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:d5:51:8a,bus=pcie.0,addr=0x3 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -vnc :10 -vga std -device intel-hda,id=sound0,bus=pcie.0,addr=0x4 -device hda-duplex,id=sound0-codec0,bus=sound0.0,cad=0 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pcie.0,addr=0x6 -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16,vectors=0,bus=pcie.0,addr=0x7 -chardev socket,id=channel1,path=/tmp/helloworld1,server,nowait -device virtserialport,chardev=channel1,name=port1,bus=virtio-serial0.0,id=port1 -chardev socket,id=channel2,path=/tmp/helloworld2,server,nowait -device virtserialport,chardev=channel2,name=port2,bus=virtio-serial0.0,id=port2 -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=0 -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=0 -qmp tcp:0:5555,server,nowait -drive file=/usr/share/virtio-win/virtio-win-1.6.7_x86.vfd,if=none,id=drive-fdc0-0-0,format=raw,cache=none -global isa-fdc.driveA=drive-fdc0-0-0

2. Load the virtio-win driver from floppy during installation.

3.

Actual results:
Can not load the driver.

Expected results:
The driver in the floppy disk should be found.

Additional info:
With "-M pc" machine type, no problem:
