Description of problem: boot guest with "usb-host"device,and with "-boot menu=on",send key "Ctrl+Alt+Del" to guest, and enter boot menu with "ESC" or "F12", USB device disappear in boot menu. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.482.el6.x86_64 seabios-0.6.1.2-30.el6.x86_64 kernel-2.6.32-595.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: 60% Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot one guest with "usb-host" device and "-boot menu=on": -boot menu=on -device usb-ehci,id=ehci \ -device usb-host,hostbus=3,hostaddr=10,id=hostdev0,bus=ehci.0 \ 2.click "Send key"--> "Ctrl+Alt+Del" in remote viewer. 3.after seabois print "Press ESC or F12 for boot menu", press ESE or F12 enter boot menu 4. USB device disappear in boot menu Actual results: no usb device in boot menu Expected results: usb device should exist in boot menu normally. Additional info: when send key "Ctrl+Alt+Del", qemu print "processing error - resetting ehci HC" every times. when hit this issue, /var/log/message show: Jan 14 10:44:30 localhost kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block 1 Jan 14 10:44:30 localhost kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block 1 Jan 14 10:44:30 localhost kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block 1 (/dev/sdc is the usb device when i plug it in host) CLI: /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm \ -M pc \ -cpu SandyBridge,enforce \ -m 4G \ -smp 1,cores=1,threads=1,sockets=1,maxcpus=65 \ -nodefaults \ -vga std \ -uuid 162494fb-ae6a-47dd-a040-cb26b497b60a \ -chardev socket,id=seabioslog,path=/tmp/seabiosdebug,server,nowait \ -device isa-debugcon,chardev=seabioslog,iobase=0x402 \ -device sga \ -spice port=5901,disable-ticketing \ -usbdevice tablet \ -monitor stdio \ -S \ -boot menu=on \ -drive id=drive_hd1,if=none,media=disk,file=/root/empty_file1 \ -device ide-drive,id=hd1,drive=drive_hd1,bus=ide.0,unit=0 \ -device usb-ehci,id=ehci \ -device usb-host,hostbus=3,hostaddr=10,id=hostdev0,bus=ehci.0 \
Reset via Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't do a full hardware reset on RHEL-6, which in turn can causes effects like this. Fixed in RHEL-7, not easily fixable in the RHEL-6 code base. Workaround: use "virsh reset $guest" instead.
