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.

Additional info:
s/pc-i440fx-rhel7.1.0/pc-i440fx-rhel7.0.0 in qemu-kvm commandline will not hit the issue (see expected results)
We did not hit this issue during RHEL7.0 SVVP Test ,so it is a testblocker and regression bug ,pls help to check it ASAP.

Comment 3 Michael S. Tsirkin 2015-01-04 12:04:31 UTC
Are we sure this is a regression?
It could be a new SVVP requirement, could it not?

I checked and it seems we always set speed to Unknown.
Can this be tested on an older host to make sure?

Alternatively, does  -M pc-i440fx-rhel7.1.0
change things?

Yep,It is a regression,as I did not hit this issue during RHEL7.0 SVVP Test.

> It could be a new SVVP requirement, could it not?
It is a old requirement for years..

what's the "older" mean here , RHEL7.0 or older RHEL7.1 ?
if it is RHEL7.0 ,the SVVP test logs has submit to MSFT ald which means we did not hit the issue.for older RHEL7.1,I did not test it.

> Alternatively, does  -M pc-i440fx-rhel7.1.0
> change things?
Sorry ,I did not get your question.

In case you miss the point:
using -M pc-i440fx-rhel7.0.0 on the same host will not hit the issue. 
Any more issues pls let me know 

Thanks,
Mike

There's a Brew scratch build for testing at:
http://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=8454404

It changes the max_speed and current_speed fields to match the old Seabios defaults (2000 MHz instead of 0).

Please confirm if this is enough to fix the issue, or if other fields also need to be updated.

I will take a look and probably fix all at the same time upstream, but please open a new BZ for it as they are different bugs. Thanks!
