Comment 4 jason wang 2014-01-03 04:42:30 UTC
Does it work if vhost is turned off?

Comment 5 jason wang 2014-02-24 08:03:27 UTC
Several things need to be confirmed:

- Does it work if vhost is turned off or switch to use e1000?
- Since it was complained by autotest, we need first exclude autotest bug. I suggest you manually log into the guest to see whether autotest get the correct ip of guest.
- Make sure guest has unique mac address, you can do this by enforcing a special mac address and re-try.

Thanks

    It can be reproduced w/ vhost=off or e1000.

    The guest has the correct ip when login to guest manually.

    The guest has the unique mac address.

    But this bug can just be reproduced by autotest, have not met this manually. From the debug log, can't make sure whether this a qemu bug. I will add more info to debug this.

    
Thanks,

Ok, since you can manually log into the guest. I believe it was a bug of autotest. So let move this to autotest?
