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 7 Qunfang Zhang 2012-10-22 05:52:32 UTC 
Reproduced this issue on qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6 and qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6, and verified pass on qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6_3.4 and qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6_3.4.

Steps:
1. Install a Fedora 17 guest with pty console chardev.

# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm  -m 2048 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -enable-kvm -name fedora17-67 -uuid 11caa689-717d-4851-9800-908a55ee7d98 -k en-us -rtc base=localtime,driftfix=slew -device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -drive file=/home/fedoar17-64.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=qcow2,serial=koTUXQrb,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop,aio=native -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0 -drive file=/home/boot.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw -device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=00:10:40:72:12:1b,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -monitor stdio -qmp tcp:0:6667,server,nowait -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16,vectors=4,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7 -chardev pty,id=channel0 -device virtconsole,bus=virtio-serial0.0,chardev=channel0,name=org.fedoraproject.console.foo,id=console1,nr=1 -vnc :11 -boot dc

In the unfixed version qemu-kvm(-rhev)-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6, guest hangs at the beginning of installation, and consume 100% cpu. 
In the fixed version qemu-kvm(-rhev)-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6_3.4, guest doesn't hang and proceed the installation until finished.

And also tried the unix socket (instead the problematic pty), guest doesn't hang during installation in both fixed and unfixed version.

So this bug is verified pass.
