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 Laszlo Ersek 2015-06-02 10:20:02 UTC 
Rationale:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu.block/2054

Upstream commits:
1 fd53c87 i386/pc: pc_basic_device_init(): delegate FDC creation request
2 936a7c1 i386/pc: '-drive if=floppy' should imply a board-default FDC
3 6cd2234 i386/pc_q35: don't insist on board FDC if there's no default floppy
4 ea96bc6 i386: drop FDC in pc-q35-2.4+ if neither it nor floppy drives are
          wanted

Comment 2 Laszlo Ersek 2015-06-03 12:41:09 UTC 
Test steps: in each invocation below, issue the "info qtree" command at the QEMU monitor prompt, and check if the "isa-fdc" device is present in the response. The common part of the commands is simply

  /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -monitor stdio

options                                        isa-fdc available
-------                                        -----------------
-M pc-i440fx-rhel7.2.0                         yes
-M pc-q35-rhel7.2.0                            no
-M pc-q35-rhel7.1.0                            yes
-M pc-q35-rhel7.2.0 -drive if=floppy,file=...  yes

Upstream commit hashes:

1 7444ca4 hw/i386/pc: factor out pc_cmos_init_floppy()
2 b86f461 hw/i386/pc: reflect any FDC @ ioport 0x3f0 in the CMOS
3 220a884 hw/i386/pc: don't carry FDC from pc_basic_device_init() to
          pc_cmos_init()
