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.

Description Sibiao Luo 2013-10-17 12:16:50 UTC 
Description of problem:
only LUN 0 is recognized by seabios for virtio-scsi device, seabios will fail to recognize virtio-scsi device if specify LUN not 0.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host info:
# uname -r && rpm -q qemu-kvm && rpm -q seabios
2.6.32-422.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.414.el6.x86_64
seabios-0.6.1.2-28.el6.x86_64
guest info:
2.6.32-422.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot guest with virtio-scsi device specified LUN is not 0.
e.g.:...-drive file=/home/my-data-disk.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-data-disk1,format=qcow2,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-scsi-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7,id=scsi0 -device scsi-hd,drive=drive-data-disk1,id=data-disk1,bus=scsi0.0,lun=1 -drive file=/home/my-data-disk.raw,if=none,id=drive-data-disk2,format=raw,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-scsi-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8,id=scsi1 -device scsi-hd,drive=drive-data-disk2,id=data-disk2,bus=scsi1.0,lun=2
2.press F12 during POST.

Actual results:
after step 2, seabios fail to recognize virtio-scsi device if specify LUN not 0.
Press F12 for boot menu.

Select boot device:

1. Virtio disk PCI:0:4
2. Floppy [drive A]
3. DVD/CD [ata1-0: QEMU DVD-ROM ATAI-4 DVD/CD]
4. gPXE (PCI 00:05.0)
5. Legacy option rom

Expected results:
seabios should recognize virtio-scsi device if specify LUN not 0.
e.g:
1. Virtio disk PCI:0:4
 * Virtio-scsi Drive QEMU QEMU HARDDISK 0.12 *   <----------
 * Virtio-scsi Drive QEMU QEMU HARDDISK 0.12 *   <----------
2. Floppy [drive A]
3. DVD/CD [ata1-0: QEMU DVD-ROM ATAI-4 DVD/CD]
4. gPXE (PCI 00:05.0)
5. Legacy option rom
