Description of problem: A cdrom media change no longer works in qemu 0.9.1. From qemu FAQ: http://calamari.reverse-dns.net:980/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#head-42074a0b764d793c64c73c855287fbb875a1f4c9 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt 0.4.2 kvm 0.69 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install qemu 0.9.1 2. check info block in qem monitor of running vm 3. try a cd change from virsh Actual results: change doesn't work, libvirt always uses cdrom rather than ide1-cd0 Expected results: Additional info:
Can you try with libvirt-0.4.3 which was just released. I think I have seens changes which could affect this, https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/search/libvirt there is an update for F-9 and one for F-8 in testing Daniel
Ok, I installed libvirt 0.4.3, and fired up a kvm vm. Attempting to change the cd within virt-manager results in the following log entries for the vm: eject cdrom change cdrom path-to-iso-file and the cd change does not work (still pointing to original iso file). Using just qemu (no libvirt) and issuing a change ide1-cd0 from qemu console does work. So it appears libvirt 0.4.3 is still not working for cdrom change with qemu 0.9.1 / kvm 0.69.
This should be fixed upstream now: http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=b00e6252fe2779ba92050b3f431fe2c95ea73d74 New release will most likely be in time for f10 beta. Closing this as UPSTREAM.
