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.

Another user experienced a similar problem:

Tried to create a new VM via Gnome Boxes app.

Step 1) Click on New
Step 2) Click on Enter URL and insert http://mirror.acsnet.com/centos/6.6/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.6-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso into the field.

Boxes will download the ISO image and attempt to start qemu. At this point qemu crashes and core dumps.

Anyone that hit this, can you post /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$vmname.log ?
If using gnome-boxes, that will be ~/.cache/libvirt/qemu/log/$vmname.log

--- Additional comment from Robert Graham on 2015-06-06 10:33:06 EDT ---

I updated to the newest gnome-boxes package on 5/30/15 and have not experienced qemu crashing since.

Previous package release:
gnome-boxes-3.16.2-1.fc22.x86_64

Current package release:
gnome-boxes-3.16.2-2.fc22.x86_64

Hmm, that log file doesn't seem to contain bits about the VM when it crashed. Annoyingly it's filled with tons of

((null):7924): Spice-Warning **: red_channel.c:546:red_channel_client_send_ping: getsockopt failed, Operation not supported

Probably a side effect of running as non-root. But it doesn't seem to the be the root issue. So if anyone else hits this crash again, please attach the qemu log file as well

--- Additional comment from Dr. David Alan Gilbert on 2015-06-16 07:25:54 EDT ---

I think my reading of the original backtrace makes me think it's an out-of-ram failure.

 #2 error_propagate at util/error.c:173
 #3 qemu_ram_alloc_internal at /usr/src/debug/qemu-2.3.0-rc3/exec.c:1544
that's checking for errors just after 'ram_block_add'

and looking inside ram_block_add the only place the error gets set is by phys_mem_alloc failing.

 #4 qemu_ram_alloc at /usr/src/debug/qemu-2.3.0-rc3/exec.c:1558
 #5 memory_region_init_ram at /usr/src/debug/qemu-2.3.0-rc3/memory.c:1138
 #6 allocate_system_memory_nonnuma at /usr/src/debug/qemu-2.3.0-rc3/numa.c:341

In here we have:
        memory_region_init_ram(mr, owner, name, ram_size, &error_abort);
and commit 49946538 started passing error_abort to that.
