Marcel, with which versions do you see this warning? (In reply to Fam Zheng from comment #3) > Marcel, with which versions do you see this warning? Latest SeaBIOS should also show this warnings, just attach enough virtio blk devices. I couldn't reproduce this so far with latest qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-3.el7 and seabios-1.9.1-4.el7. I'm using the script in bug description to generate the command line, with 15 virtio-blk devices: SeaBIOS (version 1.9.1-4.el7) All threads complete.

Yes, it's seabios running out of memory, and given the real mode constrains there is no easy way out. Up to 8 virtio-blk devices are documented as supported. If you get 12 everything is fine. If you need more disks use OVMF or virtio-scsi. If you just need some virtio pcie device for bridge testing pick something else. *** Bug 1326258 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
