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.

Fixed In Version: qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.114.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Adding an rtl8139 NIC to an active Windows 2008 guest may result in the qemu-kvm process exiting. To work around this issue, shutdown the guest before adding additional rtl8139 NICs. Alternatively, install the virtio-net drivers and add a virtio NIC.

Description Alex Williamson 2010-08-20 21:47:16 UTC 
Description of problem:
Using virt-manager to exercise hotplug with a win2k8 64bit guest, I can often hit an error when adding an rtl8139 where qemu exits.  The problem occurs when the guest assigns I/O port addresses to the device that overlap a range registered inside qemu for deprecated vga vbe handlers.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.112.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
easy

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a win2k8 guest
2. hot add an rtl8139
3.
  
Actual results:
guest dies

Expected results:
guest continues running and nic works

    Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
    accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.
    
    New Contents:
Adding an rtl8139 NIC to a running Windows 2008 guest may result in the qemu-kvm process exiting.  To avoid this issue, shutdown and add additional rtl8139 NICs only while the guest is not running, or install virtio-net drivers and add a virtio NIC instead of an rtl8139 NIC.
