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 3 Suqin Huang 2011-02-10 10:18:30 UTC 
can work in qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.132.el6.x86_64
Comment 4 Gleb Natapov 2011-02-11 11:32:07 UTC 
Does it work on intel? Which version of bios have you used?
Comment 5 Suqin Huang 2011-02-12 03:03:29 UTC 
(In reply to comment #4)
> Does it work on intel? Which version of bios have you used?

seabios-0.6.1.2-3.el6.x86_64

can reproduce on Intel, no bootable device while boot a newly installed guest.

No bootable device is not the same as problem reported at comment #0. Do you see problems (this one or one from comment #0) if you drop "-boot c" from command line?
Comment 7 Gleb Natapov 2011-02-12 07:42:27 UTC 
What are you steps exactly? I can boot any random rhe5 image I have here.
Comment 8 Suqin Huang 2011-02-12 09:05:19 UTC 
should be installation issue.

1. Can boot up a bootable guest both on AMD and Intel host

2. Install rhel5.5.64 guest on AMD host with qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.144.el6.x86_64

installation cmdline:

/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -monitor stdio -drive file=/home/shuang/images/rhel5.test,index=0,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk1,media=disk,cache=none,format=qcow2,aio=native -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4,drive=drive-virtio-disk1,id=virtio-disk1 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=idhIXeNk,mac=9a:51:74:0d:2f:cb,netdev=idhIXeNk,id=ndev00idhIXeNk,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -netdev tap,id=idhIXeNk,script='/home/shuang/qemu-ifup-switch',downscript='no' -m 2048 -smp 2,cores=1,threads=1,sockets=2 -cpu cpu64-rhel6,+sse2,+x2apic -vnc :0 -rtc base=utc,clock=host,driftfix=none  -boot n -usbdevice tablet -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -enable-kvm

1). guest can be installed successfully
2). the same issue as the description on comment0 when boot up guest
3). the same issue while remove -boot c from cmdline
4). copy image to Intel host, the same issue as comment0

3. Install guest on Intel host with qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.144.el6.x86_64
1). guest can be installed successfully
2). "No bootable device " error while boot it
3). the same issue when drop "-boot c" from cmdline
Comment 9 Gleb Natapov 2011-02-13 11:44:20 UTC 
Can you retry with raw image format?
Comment 10 Suqin Huang 2011-02-14 02:29:31 UTC 
(In reply to comment #9)
> Can you retry with raw image format?

can work with raw image format
Comment 11 Gleb Natapov 2011-02-14 08:16:49 UTC 
Looks like http://post-office.corp.redhat.com/archives/rhvirt-patches/2011-February/msg00822.html should fix it. Re-assign to Kevin for him to decide what to do with this BZ.
Comment 12 Kevin Wolf 2011-02-14 10:04:28 UTC 
Quite possible.

When you reboot directly after the installation (i.e. without a qemu restart), can you boot?

can reboot directly after installation (send system_reset)
Comment 14 Kevin Wolf 2011-02-15 10:14:34 UTC 
Thanks. Please retest as soon as -145 is built, it should contain the fix.

work well in qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.145.el6.x86_64
Comment 16 Kevin Wolf 2011-02-17 08:47:02 UTC 
Okay, I'm closing this as a duplicate of the qcow2-cache bug as this is the bug that Avi used for the fix, even though it might look a bit strange because the subjects are completely unrelated.
