Is this the same as bug 579348? (In reply to comment #1) > Is this the same as bug 579348? No. Bug 579348 involves a boot failure *after* the Windows install completes; this bug is caused by triggering an assertion in qemu *during* the installation - specifically, right after the disk is formatted. This problem was reported to the upstream developers in July: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2010-07/msg01640.html Anthony Liguori says "I see the problem. Working on a patch now." but the patch seems to have been lost somewhere along the way.. I get the same error message: qemu-kvm: block/raw.c:130: raw_aio_writev: Assertion `qiov->iov[i].iov_len >= 512' failed. And patching out the offending line in block/raw.c allows the installation to complete successfully. This prevents Windows installations from completing in libvirt - adding to the F14VirtBlocker list. Is this still happening with qemu-0.13.0-0.7.rc1.fc14? Yes. Still crashes in the exact same place. This was discussed at the 2010-10-01 blocker review meeting. We agreed it does not meet the release criteria or nice-to-have principles, so it is not accepted as a blocker or NTH. Justin does expect that in fact it will be fixed for final release, but it's not blocking. qemu-0.13.0-1.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/qemu-0.13.0-1.fc14 qemu-0.13.0-1.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update qemu'. You can provide feedback for this update here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/qemu-0.13.0-1.fc14 qemu-0.13.0-1.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
