If I create a new qcow2 file and try and install Fedora 8 on it, the installer never shows sda in the partitioning screen. anaconda.log shows: removing drive sda from disk lists; adding to skip list Turns out this isn't a problem with kvm-83 from git, so I added some debugging to block-rw-range-check.patch: + if (ret) + printf("Failing bdrv_rd_badreq_sectors(%ld, %d) : total_sectors = %ld\n", + sector_num, nb_sectors, bs->total_sectors); and I see: Failing bdrv_rd_badreq_sectors(192, 1) : total_sectors = 192
Reproduced here. Investigating.
Found the issue: the patch on Rawhide is using bdrv_rd_badreq_sectors() instead of bdrv_rw_badreq_sectors() on bdrv_aio_write().
Fixed on Rawhide CVS (kvm-83-4.fc11)
Reassigning: The kvm package no longer exists in rawhide/F11, since it is now part of 'qemu'.
Fix is present in new merged RPM qemu-0.10-0.9.kvm20090310git.fc11.x86_64
