Description of problem: Install RHEL6.3 32 bit guest on virtio-scsi disk, failed. Get the following error: LVMError: vgcreate failed for VolGroup: 12:59:08,603 ERROR : Incorrect metadata area header checksum on /dev/sda2 at offset 4096 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # uname -r ; rpm -q qemu-kvm 2.6.32-259.el6.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.270.el6.x86_64 guest kernel： 2.6.32-259.el6.i386 How reproducible: 3/3 Steps to Reproduce: 1.install rhel6.3 32 bits guest with virtio scsi disk e.g # /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm ... -drive file=/home/rhel6.3-32.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=qcow2,cache=none,aio=native,media=disk,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=bus1 -device scsi-hd,bus=bus1.0,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-scsi-pci0 2. 3. Actual results: install guest failed, when formatting disk gets error: LVMError: vgcreate failed for VolGroup: 12:59:08,603 ERROR : Incorrect metadata area header checksum on /dev/sda2 at offset 4096 Expected results: install guest successfully. Additional info: with virtio-blk-pci no this issue. install RHEL6.3 64 bits guest no this issue.
Please always include the full command line you're using to call qemu (if you're using libvirt, you can get it with "ps auxw")
