Description Jiri Belka 2014-10-09 12:14:29 UTC

Description of problem:

I can't boot from virtio-blk and virtio-scsi disk is not even recognized by SLES installer.

Please consider to change osinfo to make it usable by default.

Now:

# Suseppc64
os.sles_11_ppc64.id.value = 1004
os.sles_11_ppc64.name.value = SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11
os.sles_11_ppc64.derivedFrom.value = other_linux_ppc64

Then:
+ os.other_ppc64.devices.diskInterfaces.value.3.4 = SPAPR_VSCSI

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.4.3

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to install/or reboot after while using virtio-blk/scsi
2.
3.

Actual results:
virtio-blk doesn't find boot data ; virtio-scsi is unknown at all by installer

Expected results:
add SPAPR_VSCSI for now so users do not complain later

+ os.sles_11_ppc64.devices.diskInterfaces.value.3.4 = SPAPR_VSCSI

of *h*orse :)

Comment 2 Jiri Belka 2014-10-09 12:41:19 UTC

CORRECTION:

os.sles_11_ppc64.devices.diskInterfaces.value.3.4 = VirtIO, SPAPR_VSCSI

I don't know why but know it boots from virtio-block. anyway, sles installer showed error msg when there was virtio-scsi disk that it cannot find it.

so virtio-blk and spapr_vscsi is ok.
