Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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-1.7.5-3.el7 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, SeaBIOS for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 filled vendor and version fields with upstream values that differed from ones used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. This could cause issues when guest was migrated from version 6 to 7. With this fix, proper values are used, which do not change after migration.

Comment 1 Gerd Hoffmann 2014-07-25 09:25:24 UTC 
rhel6/seabios commit 1389643dad35a63362cd7d8357693f01175ef473
Comment 4 Andrew Cathrow 2014-07-27 11:26:55 UTC 
Added z-stream flag.
Comment 5 Gerd Hoffmann 2014-07-28 12:02:15 UTC 
Created separate z-stream bug 1123838 (different seabios versions, different patches).
Comment 6 Gerd Hoffmann 2014-07-28 12:14:46 UTC 
Patches posted.
Comment 7 Gerd Hoffmann 2014-07-28 13:04:52 UTC 
Hmm, separate zstream bug has been outlawed ...
Comment 10 Miroslav Rezanina 2014-08-13 06:22:14 UTC 
Fix included in seabios-1.7.5-3.el7
Comment 12 huiqingding 2014-11-06 05:02:26 UTC 
Reproduce this bug using the following version:
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-60.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-196.el7.x86_64
seabios-bin-1.7.2.2-12.el7.x86_64
rhev-guest-tools-iso-3.5-6.el6ev.noarch

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot a  Windows XP Sp3 guest
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M pc -cpu SandyBridge,+x2apic,hv_relaxed,hv_vapic,hv_spinlocks=0x1fff,hv_time -enable-kvm -m 4096 -smp 4,sockets=2,cores=2,threads=1,maxcpus=160 -name rhel7 -rtc base=localtime,clock=host,driftfix=slew  -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0 -chardev socket,id=channel1,path=/tmp/test1,server,nowait -device virtserialport,chardev=channel1,name=com.redhat.com,bus=virtio-serial0.0,id=port1  -drive file=/home/winxpsp3-32.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=qcow2,serial=40c061dd-5d60-4fc5-865f-55db700407f0,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop,aio=threads -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 -serial unix:/tmp/ttyS0,server,nowait -spice port=5900,disable-ticketing -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=67108864 -monitor stdio -qmp tcp:0:4445,server,nowait -nodefaults -boot menu=on -cdrom en_windows_xp_professional_with_service_pack_3_x86_cd_x14-80428.iso -drive file=/usr/share/rhev-guest-tools-iso/RHEV-toolsSetup_3.5_6.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw -device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=1,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0,logical_block_size=512,physical_block_size=512,min_io_size=32,opt_io_size=64,discard_granularity=512,unit=1,ver=fuxc-ver-cdrom,bus=ide.0,unit=1

2. insatll rhev-guest-tools
inside the guest, click "RHEV-toolSetup" of CDROM to install rhev-guest-tools

Actual results:
after step2, rhev-guest-tools cannot be installed with the abort dialog box appears "Installation of RHEV-Tools on the Guest should be performed only when running on RHEL 6 type Host (RHEV-H or RHEL). Installation aorted."
