RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

guest serial output

Comment 3 Gerd Hoffmann 2013-10-02 05:52:10 UTC
Guest fails to load the cirrus driver for whatever reasons (log doesn't say why).  Looks like a guest bug to me.  Also the guest seems to boot up just fine according to the serial console log (attachment #1 [details]), just without the cirrus drm driver.  Are there any problems with the guest, other than the error message?

Nope, guest just working fine, network functioning, reboot/shutdown w/o failure
except acpi, like
Bug 1013498 - SLES.11.3 guest wont work after resume from S4 on KVM hypervisor

Comment 5 Gerd Hoffmann 2013-10-07 08:06:47 UTC
Thanks.  Nothing the hypervisor can do about guest bugs.  Closing.
