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.

Comment 2 Dor Laor 2011-01-10 13:20:48 UTC 
Can you please retest through libvirt with one IDE drive and one cdrom?
Comment 3 Suqin Huang 2011-01-12 06:10:38 UTC 
1. with one cdrom and one ide disk. PASS

2. have tried with virt-manager with two cdroms, the order (bus and unit)  will affect the result.

Comment 6 Markus Armbruster 2011-04-14 14:07:23 UTC 
We fixed vaguely similar bug 558256 in qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.158.el6.  Maybe it fixed this one as well.  Could you please retest?
Comment 7 Suqin Huang 2011-04-22 01:53:54 UTC 
can reproduce in qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.159.el6
Comment 9 Markus Armbruster 2011-09-26 17:04:32 UTC 
We'd need exception or blocker status to fix this bug (not sure we could justify either), and we don't even know its cause, yet.  That means 6.2 is no longer a realistic goal.  Deferring.
Comment 11 Markus Armbruster 2011-12-02 16:37:56 UTC 
Comment#3 is interesting.

Can you reproduce with RHEL-4, -5 or -6 and current qemu-kvm?  And retest RHEL-3 with the same qemu-kvm?

Hi Markus,

I just tried it with qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.210.el6.x86_64,
 same result as comment #3.
Comment 13 Markus Armbruster 2011-12-09 12:44:04 UTC 
Which *guests* did you try with qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.210.el6.x86_64?

Hi Markus,

I mean rhel-3.9 has the same result as Comment #3.

rhel-4.9, 5.7, 6.2 works fine.
Comment 16 Siyuan Wang 2012-02-03 07:25:01 UTC 
this bug reproduced on rhel 6.3.
kernel: 2.6.32-220.4.1.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.222.el6.x86_64

Since it does work for rhel4/5/6 and even for rhel3 w/ a single cdrom, I tend to close it as won't fix.
