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.

Description Cole Robinson 2011-03-08 15:07:32 UTC
Changing acpi/apic values on the overview page in virt-manager does not work, virtinst will unconditionally unset the values.

Fixed upstream here:

http://hg.fedorahosted.org/hg/python-virtinst/rev/34bafa85c55f

This is a regression from 6.0 so needs to be fixed, and the fix is low risk.

Comment 1 Cole Robinson 2011-03-10 18:25:04 UTC
Fixed in python-virtinst-0.500.5-2.el6

Comment 3 Nan Zhang 2011-03-18 08:43:59 UTC
Now can unset acpi/apic values with python-virtinst-0.500.5-2.el6.noarch, move to VERIFIED.

# virt-install -n test1 -r 512 --cdrom /var/lib/libvirt/boot/Fedora-14-i686-Live-Desktop.iso --vcpus=2 -f /var/lib/libvirt/images/test1.img -s 5 --hvm --accelerate --os-variant=virtio26 --network network:default --noreboot --vnc --noacpi --noapic

# virsh dumpxml test1
