Description Richard W.M. Jones 2009-07-20 06:35:03 EDT

Created attachment 354325 [details]
kvm-remove-initrd-warning-message.patch

The attached very trivial patch removes an annoying
warning message which is printed by qemu whenever the
qemu -initrd option is used.  Since libguestfs uses
this option, the message is always printed for us.

Upstream since May 2009:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/qemu.git/commit/?id=42fa1c2e226bd62e8df145f3509b692b65a6170c

The attached patch is the same as upstream, just
rebased against our KVM package.

I tested it using libguestfs.  It suppresses the
message as expected.

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2009-07-20 06:56:00 EDT

Here's a simple test you can use to see if this patch
has been applied:

$ guestfish alloc /tmp/test.img 10M : run

This command may print several other warning messages,
but the one the should *not* appear is:

  qemu: loading initrd (XXXX bytes) at XXXX
