Hi Gleb, This bug is funny :) in my tests, it always appear when guest have more that 10 disks.it seems the sequences are in octal. pls see attached octal_index.png when boot guest with 3 ~ 10 disk,win guest show me disks in such order index5..(index6,index7..).... index0,index4 ONLY when boot guest with 2 disks,win guest will show the index0 disk as the first disk. Best Regards, Xiaoqing. Created attachment 518174 [details]

This request was not resolved in time for the current release. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development. This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4. Funny observation about Win8. We probably can't do anything about it. After installation, the disks don't appear at different letters. So, it's not a problem. |
Created attachment 514116 [details] cmd Description of problem: multi disks indexes in a random order when installing win2008r2 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.171.el6.x86_64 seabios-0.6.1.2-3.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: mostly Steps to Reproduce: 1.start a win2008r2 installation with multi disks (cmd tooooo long , will attached as a text file) 2.select a disk to install win08r2,after reboot,guest may not continue installation [disks may not the same order as last boot] 3.FYI,all images' size incrementally(storage1.raw == 1G ,storage2.raw == 2G ,etc) Actual results: disks index may not always same when running win2008r2 installer.(see attached pic) that results installation fail Expected results: disk index do not changed when guest reboot . Additional info: if use a pre-installed win2008r2 image , boot with multiple disk,works fine. 4/4 Linux guest works fine when install with multiple disks 2/2
