Created attachment 443269 [details] libguestfs-test-tool boot OK (line removed) Description of problem: The following line in the libguestfs /init file: for f in /sys/block/[hsv]d*/queue/scheduler; do echo noop > $f; done If it is there, then the boot hangs at this line. If this line is removed then the boot continues fine. I don't know if this is a problem in kernel or qemu-kvm (or very unlikely in udev). It seems like it would be a virtio-blk driver bug in the kernel which is why I'm initially assigning this bug to kernel. There is no kernel error message, and the kernel does not panic, it (or something) just hangs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # yum --enablerepo=koji install udev kernel qemu-kvm Package udev-161-2.fc15.i686 already installed and latest version Package kernel-2.6.36-0.16.rc3.git0.fc15.i686 already installed and latest version Package 2:qemu-kvm-0.13.0-0.5.20100809git25fdf4a.fc15.i686 already installed and latest version How reproducible: Always. This hang has been happening for over a month in the same place. Steps to Reproduce: Install the above packages, and run libguestfs-test-tool. Actual results: Hangs at this line. Expected results: Should not hang, or should give an error message. Additional info: The full output of libguestfs-test-tool (with the problem line REMOVED so it boots OK) is in the attachment. This contains useful information such as the full kernel and qemu-kvm command lines.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
Is this still a problem with 3.9 based F19 kernels?
No idea. Closing because this bug is ancient history.
