Description Sitong Liu 2017-04-18 11:08:36 UTC

Description of problem:
Boot RHEL7.4 guest with the seabios-1.10.2-2.el7.x86_64 & seabios-1.9.1-5.el7.x86_64, nec-usb-xhci can't be recognized at boot menu neither. While
the usb2.0 device (usb-ehci) can work well.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
seabios-1.10.2-2.el7.x86_64 & 1.9.1-5.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-0.el7.mrezanin201703210848.x86_64
3.10.0-648.el7.x86_64

Comment 2 Laszlo Ersek 2017-04-24 11:32:43 UTC

I'm not sure why I was set as Assignee for this bug, but I guess it's good enough for giving the bug some traction... I assume the high priority means it is a test blocker or such?

This bug looks similar to bug 1430664. There Gerd asked for a retest, on top of QEMU 2.9 (rebase).

Now, this BZ (i.e., bug 1443040) is indeed reported for such a rebase (qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-0.el7.mrezanin201703210848.x86_64).

Gerd, are you aware of any (nec-usb-xhci, usb-storage) boot issues with upstream QEMU and SeaBIOS? Thanks.

Comment 3 Laszlo Ersek 2017-04-24 11:33:39 UTC

Sigh, mistyped bug 1430664 in the "Fixed In Version" field. I meant "See Also". Correcting it.

Comment 4 Gerd Hoffmann 2017-04-24 12:22:58 UTC

Pleare retest against the final rebase build (available meanwhile in brew: qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-1.el7).

Retest it. (with qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-1.el7 & seabios-1.10.2-2.el7.x86_64)

It works well when "bios-256k.bin" is set or "-M pc/pc-i440fx-rhel7.4.0/..." is set. The default setting uses "bios-256k.bin".

While it din not work when "bios.bin" or "-M rhel6.6.0/rhel6.5.0/..." is set.

Good.  Moving to POST (or should I go straight to MODIFIED if we have a RHEL build already?).

> While it din not work when "bios.bin" or "-M rhel6.6.0/rhel6.5.0/..." is set.

That is expected.  The bios.bin for rhel-6 machine types has several features turned off to make it fit into 128k.  And one of them is xhci support.  We don't need that there because rhel-6 qemu-kvm has no xhci emulation.

Comment 9 Miroslav Rezanina 2017-05-03 03:20:39 UTC

Hi Gerd, 

this BZ is in seabios component but Fixed in field says qemu-kvm-rhev. One of the field needs to be modified - either move BZ to qemu-kvm-rhev component in case it's the place where the issue is fixed or change Fixed-in field to proper seabios version.

I'll add BZ to proper errata after this conflict is resolved.

Thanks

verified bug with qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-5.el7.x86_64 & seabios-1.10.2-3.el7.x86_64.

without /usr/share/seabios/bios-256k.bin in qemu command.

seabios and guest work well.


with /usr/share/seabios/bios-256k.bin in qemu command

seabios and guest work well


only do smoke testing for this bug. no found any problems. set this bug as verified.
