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.

Fixed In Version: seabios-1.10.2-3.el7
Doc Type: Release Note
Doc Text:
SeaBIOS recognizes SCSI devices with a non-zero LUN Previously, SeaBIOS only recognized SCSI devices when the logical unit number (LUN) was set to zero. Consequently, if a SCSI device was defined with a LUN other than zero, SeaBIOS failed to boot. With this update, SeaBIOS recognizes SCSI devices with LUNs other than zero. As a result, SeaBIOS boots successfully.

Actual results:
Press F12 for boot menu.

Select boot device:

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

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

Yes, this is a known limitation that may be lifted later.

In RHEV, the unit cannot be manually specified by the customer in an easy way.

The only non intrusive workaround is to detach all the VMs disks and attach again ensuring the boot disk is the first one to be attached.

Paolo, there was some feedback on the series and I don't see the patches in the upstream repo or a v2 anywhere. Do you know anything about this series?
Comment 18 Paolo Bonzini 2017-04-26 15:56:38 UTC 
Roman said a couple weeks ago that he was about to send v2.

Looks like the code is now upstream:

https://mail.coreboot.org/pipermail/seabios/2017-May/011350.html

Time for a backport?
Comment 20 Paolo Bonzini 2017-05-08 18:54:01 UTC 
Yes, hope to post tomorrow.
Comment 22 Miroslav Rezanina 2017-05-12 08:03:34 UTC 
Fix included in seabios-1.10.2-3.el7
Comment 24 Paolo Bonzini 2017-05-16 14:09:12 UTC 
Replaced "virtio-scsi" with SCSI in the doc text.  One virtio-scsi device can have many SCSI devices, some with LUN zero, some with LUN not zero.

1.Reproduced this bug this seabios-1.10.2-2.el7.x86_64. I can get the result as "no bootable device".

Boot guest with lun=0

2.Verified bug with seabios-1.10.2-3.el7.x86_64. 

Guest works well.


So, This bug is fixed. and set this bug as verified.
