Description Paolo Bonzini 2012-03-21 08:56:46 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #805413 +++

Description of problem:
KVM supports booting from host USB devices (both directly attached and redirected over IP).  However, it does not support assigning a boot index to them.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.9.10

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Here is a sample command line for the usb-host case:
x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -vga cirrus -readconfig ich9-ehci-uhci.cfg -device usb-host,bus=ehci.0,vendorid=0x0a16,productid=0x2499,bootindex=2 /path/to/disk.img -boot menu=on
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Error "Property 'usb-host.bootindex' not found"

Expected results:
USB host device comes second in the boot menu

Comment 2 Paolo Bonzini 2012-03-21 13:07:25 UTC

<boot order='...'/> already supported for PCI assigned devices.

Comment 4 Paolo Bonzini 2012-07-20 13:36:52 UTC

The QEMU bug was moved to RHEL7, so moving this one too.

Comment 7 Ján Tomko 2012-11-16 15:33:49 UTC

Boot order for USB hostdev devices works upstream:

    qemu: add bootindex for usb-host and usb-redir devices

however usb-redir will require more work. Documentation and tests will follow after that.
