Description Haim 2010-08-18 07:44:02 UTC
Description of problem:

qemu guest machine freeze when it hit kernel panic. 
monitor socket doesn't respond at all. 

[root@silver-vdse tmp]# nc -U /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/boom-path.monitor 
{"QMP": {"version": {"qemu": "0.12.1", "package": "(qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2)"}, "capabilities": []}}

it happened when I passed kernel boot options via qemu-exec command line: 

LC_ALL=C PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -S -M rhel6.0.0 -cpu qemu64,-svm -enable-kvm -m 512 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name boom-path -uuid 21bab490-5502-4630-b91b-81ab19859b2d -nodefconfig -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/boom-path.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=2010-7-18T7:0:55 -boot cn -kernel /tmp/vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 -initrd /tmp/initrd-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.img -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -drive file=/rhev/data-center/6acd4aff-334a-44e1-8370-048f1ba9962b/6c4717af-38c1-47ea-846d-e8ecea1cd633/images/c3457abf-c881-4ce9-a112-8c487f3105ea/77c58566-3ff4-4662-84b8-6f544022c840,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,boot=on,format=qcow2,serial=e9-a112-8c487f3105ea,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0 -drive file=/rhev/data-center/6acd4aff-334a-44e1-8370-048f1ba9962b/6c4717af-38c1-47ea-846d-e8ecea1cd633/images/cfc1512a-3da8-47cb-91d2-fabd0d3c00dc/877d47dd-28:


repro steps: 

1) install vm with rhel54 
2) copy initrd and vmlinuz files to your hosts (which are higher then your host 
   currently has)
3) pass those parameters to qemu
4) start vm

This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **

Comment 3 Luiz Capitulino 2010-11-29 18:25:27 UTC
Just tried to reproduce this one following the steps described in the description but it does work for me. Tested with qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.113.el6.x86_64 and latest checkout from Eduardo's repository (HEAD 76a4a8cfb6a).

I really think this is a dupe of bug 624721, can you please check?
