Description

We explicitly disabled EFI roms in rhel 7 so they are not present and used. As unofficial build o qemu-kvm is used, appropriate ipxe has to be used. OK, I see what is going on now --- 2014-07-02 01:56:44.352 | Installing: 2014-07-02 01:56:44.352 | qemu-system-x86 x86_64 2:2.0.0-1.el7.1 epel 3.4 M --- qemu-system-x86 is coming from EPEL, where it is version 2.0.0 I think the problem is this is not bringing in a late-enough version of qemu-ipxe-roms [1], which is still coming from the rhel7 versions. Hence these broken links. [1] http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/qemu.git/tree/qemu.spec?h=f20#n627 Issue is in incompatible ipxe and qemu-system-x86. To solve the issue, proper ipxe has to be installed. Same problem here. There are also other problems with symlinks from qemu. Here are broken symlinks: [root@vs qemu]# find . -type l -xtype l -exec ls -l {} \; lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 24 Oct 7 08:03 ./acpi-dsdt.aml -> ../seabios/acpi-dsdt.aml lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 24 Oct 7 08:03 ./efi-virtio.rom -> ../ipxe.efi/1af41000.rom lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 24 Oct 7 08:03 ./efi-rtl8139.rom -> ../ipxe.efi/10ec8139.rom lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 24 Oct 7 08:03 ./efi-ne2k_pci.rom -> ../ipxe.efi/10ec8029.rom lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 28 Oct 7 08:03 ./q35-acpi-dsdt.aml -> ../seabios/q35-acpi-dsdt.aml lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 24 Oct 7 08:03 ./efi-e1000.rom -> ../ipxe.efi/8086100e.rom lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 24 Oct 7 08:03 ./efi-pcnet.rom -> ../ipxe.efi/10222000.rom If you think, this is a problem of other component, please change component in this bug. This bug breaks booting from network with qemu-2.0.0. Jan, please provide the output of the following: # yum list installed | egrep 'qemu|seabios|ipxe' Please also provide the URLs for the repositories from which these packages were installed. Thanks. Here it is: ipxe-bootimgs.noarch 20130517-5.gitc4bce43.el7 @base ipxe-roms.noarch 20130517-5.gitc4bce43.el7 @base ipxe-roms-qemu.noarch 20130517-5.gitc4bce43.el7 @base libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu.x86_64 1.1.1-29.el7_0.3 @updates qemu-common.x86_64 2:2.0.0-1.el7.1 @epel qemu-img.x86_64 10:1.5.3-60.el7_0.7.0.1 @updates qemu-kvm-common.x86_64 10:1.5.3-60.el7_0.7.0.1 @updates qemu-kvm-tools.x86_64 10:1.5.3-60.el7_0.7.0.1 @updates qemu-system-x86.x86_64 2:2.0.0-1.el7.1 @epel qemu-user.x86_64 2:2.0.0-1.el7.1 @epel seabios.x86_64 1.7.2.2-12.el7_0.1 @updates seabios-bin.x86_64 1.7.2.2-12.el7_0.1 @updates Btw, unable to install these files. Trying to install symlink target: [root@vs3 ~]# yum install /usr/share/ipxe.efi/1af41000.rom No package /usr/share/ipxe.efi/1af41000.rom available. I use only standard CentOS 7 repository and EPEL, as you see from yum list. ftp://ftp.upjs.sk/pub/centos/7/ ftp://ftp.upjs.sk/pub/mirrors/epel/7/ I don't know, which URL's you need exactly. They are default repositories for centos. I you need urls to some packages, I can give you. A word of caution about the patch that went in: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/qemu.git/commit/?h=epel7&id=baadb31598bd962b4ac554dfc803d0af99a88737 seabios >= 1.7.4 is required in order for certain Windows guests to boot. The problem won't be apparent unless you specifically test a range of Windows guests (Linux guests will work fine). So you may need to add that versioned require back, or update seabios in EPEL 7. qemu-2.0.0-1.el7.2 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 7. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/qemu-2.0.0-1.el7.2 (In reply to Richard W.M. Jones from comment #12) > A word of caution about the patch that went in: > > http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/qemu.git/commit/ > ?h=epel7&id=baadb31598bd962b4ac554dfc803d0af99a88737 > > seabios >= 1.7.4 is required in order for certain Windows > guests to boot.

Seabios is provided from RHEL, not EPEL. Nothing we can do anything about. (In reply to Jan ONDREJ from comment #8) > This bug breaks booting from network with qemu-2.0.0. It should not; it should merely do so for EFI guests. In case you need support for EFI guests, you need to add a separate package to EPEL. Package qemu-2.0.0-1.el7.2: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora EPEL 7 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=epel-testing qemu-2.0.0-1.el7.2' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2014-3271/qemu-2.0.0-1.el7.2 then log in and leave karma (feedback). Package qemu-2.0.0-1.el7.3: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora EPEL 7 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=epel-testing qemu-2.0.0-1.el7.3' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2014-3271/qemu-2.0.0-1.el7.3 then log in and leave karma (feedback). qemu-2.0.0-1.el7.3 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
