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.

Description Cole Robinson 2015-05-04 23:48:11 UTC
We currently ship qemupciserial.inf on the virtio-win .iso, however there's also a qemupciserial.cat file which we _don't_ ship. It's unclear if that omission was intentional or just an oversight of the previous build system. I asked Vadim in private mail:

So we should distribute the .cat file as well

Comment 2 Cole Robinson 2015-08-10 23:44:21 UTC
This will be picked up automatically by the next virtio-win RPM/ISO build, the upstream scripts already have the change.

Comment 3 Jeff Nelson 2015-10-01 20:32:56 UTC
Fixed in virtio-win-1.8.0-1.el7

Comment 5 Yu Wang 2015-10-14 08:33:28 UTC
Hi

There is still no qemupciserial.cat file in /iso/qemupciserial .

Thanks

Comment 10 Cole Robinson 2016-07-18 21:31:49 UTC
This isn't blocker worthy, doesn't seem to be impacting anyone really, so dropping that flag and moving to proposing for rhel 7.4

Comment 14 Cole Robinson 2017-06-06 18:10:01 UTC
yash, I know there's been some discussion about getting this driver signed so maybe you fixed this... is qemupciserial.cat on the rhel iso these days?

Comment 15 Yash Mankad 2017-06-06 19:17:46 UTC
Yes, the qemupciserial.cat file will be on the rhel iso for the 7.4 release.

Comment 19 Danilo de Paula 2017-06-07 19:36:15 UTC
Back to MODIFIED

Comment 21 Yu Wang 2017-06-13 01:59:30 UTC
