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.

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)

Comment 2 Gerd Hoffmann 2016-02-17 07:17:06 UTC 
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.
