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 Klaus Heinrich Kiwi 2021-08-19 20:00:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
Remove the ac97 audio device from QEMU builds, as it hasn't been the default and there are better alternatives to it (hda implementations, such asich9, ich6)
Comment 7 Klaus Heinrich Kiwi 2021-08-25 12:56:31 UTC 
Gerd is telling me that this is done in C9S, so perhaps we should use ITM26 and set the status?
Comment 10 Guo, Zhiyi 2021-08-27 14:40:59 UTC 
Test against qemu-kvm-6.0.0-12.el9.x86_64:
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -device ? | grep -i ac97
name "AC97", bus PCI, alias "ac97", desc "Intel 82801AA AC97 Audio"
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -device ac97
VNC server running on ::1:5900

Test against qemu-kvm-6.0.0-13.el9.x86_64:
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -device ? | grep -i ac97
(empty)
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -device ac97
qemu-kvm: -device ac97: 'ac97' (alias 'AC97') is not a valid device model name

So ac97 is disabled now
