Comment 1 Jun Li 2014-08-14 02:55:39 UTC

Test it on rhel 6, steps as followings:

1.boot guests using following cli:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -m 2G \
-device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0 \
-drive file=/mnt/windows_img/win2012-64-virtio.raw,if=none,id=disk1,format=raw,snapshot=on \
-device scsi-hd,drive=disk1,id=sys-disk1,scsi-id=100,lun=0,bootindex=0 \
-boot menu=on -monitor stdio -vnc :2 \
-drive file=/mnt/linux_img/RHEL-Server-7.0-64.raw,if=none,id=disk2,snapshot=on \
-device scsi-hd,drive=disk2,id=sys-disk2,scsi-id=0,lun=0,bootindex=3 -S

2.check the boot order in seabios.
Press F12 for boot menu.

Actual results:
sys-disk2 is the first disk and sys-disk1 is the second disk when press F12.
Such as:
1. virtio-scsi Drive QEMU QEMU HARDDISK 1.5.
2. virtio-scsi Drive QEMU QEMU HARDDISK 1.5.
...

Expected results:
the order of the boot device in seabios should the same to we specified the bootindex in qemu-kvm command line.

Comment 12 langfang 2015-02-26 07:15:40 UTC

Reproduce this bug as follow version:
Host
# uname -r
2.6.32-539.el6.x86_64
# rpm -q qemu-kvm-rhev
qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.448.el6.x86_64
# rpm -q seabios
seabios-0.6.1.2-28.el6.x86_64

Steps
1.Boot guest with 

 ..-device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0 -drive file=/home/rhel6.6.raw,if=none,id=disk1,format=raw -device scsi-hd,drive=disk1,id=sys-disk1,scsi-id=100,lun=0,bootindex=0 -boot menu=on -monitor stdio -vnc :2 -drive file=/home/win8-64-virtio.raw,if=none,id=disk2 -device scsi-hd,drive=disk2,id=sys-disk2,scsi-id=0,lun=0,bootindex=3...


Results: guest boot up from the "bootindex=3" imag.

Verify this bug as follow version.

Host
# uname -r
2.6.32-539.el6.x86_64
# rpm -q qemu-kvm-rhev
qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.448.el6.x86_64
# rpm -q seabios
seabios-0.6.1.2-29.el6.x86_64


Steps as same as reproduce

Resutls:

Guest boot up from "bootindex=0" imag, work well


According to above test , this bug has been fixed.
