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 Chao Yang 2012-04-01 11:05:55 UTC 
same issue exists on ide-drive/virtio-scsi and virtio-blk-pci/virtio-scsi
Comment 3 Paolo Bonzini 2012-04-02 07:06:31 UTC 
Please be more specific.  From bug 801293 comment 4:

"In general if you specify bootindex for one disk you want to specify it for all
of them, including usb-storage."  Otherwise the decisions from SeaBIOS can be confusing.

Sorry, I didn't see bug 801293 comment 9. Do you have the new command-line.  Do you have the command-line?  Also, what does the boot menu say?

This could be fixed in qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.294.el6; two patches were missing when bug 802284 was committed to distgit.
