Description David Jaša 2013-05-27 16:23:28 UTC
Description of problem:
virtio-serial driver (vioser) can't be installed in win7 x32 running on f19 host

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-1.4.1-3.fc19.x86_64
windows 7 32bit with latest updates
vioser.sys/inf/cat 61.64.104.5900 built on 2013/05/02 4:17PM
   (applies to 0.52 driver running on the same host as well)

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to install the driver via some installer (or "update driver" of virtio-serial device - ... - have disk - choose .inf of this driver)
2.
3.

Actual results:
the driver is not used (resp. windows says that the driver cannot be used for that device)

Expected results:
driver works (resp. windows installs vioser without any problems)

Additional info:
I didn't try other windows versions, may be also affected

Comment 1 David Jaša 2013-05-28 12:14:42 UTC
After an update to qemu-kvm-1.4.2-2, I can see the virtio serial device among "system devices" in device manager, but vdagent-win still can't connect to the device...

When I run the same VM on RHEL 6 host, the vdagent works just fine.

Comment 2 David Jaša 2013-05-30 12:31:12 UTC
Even after updates, the bug still persists. vdagent.log repeats saying:

Comment 3 David Jaša 2013-05-30 12:38:50 UTC
After the shutdown and fresh start, the agent starts just fine...

Comment 4 Arnon Gilboa 2013-05-30 13:09:34 UTC
seems like a known issue with vio-serial driver update, see bug 927941

and/or bug 951481

Comment 6 Arnon Gilboa 2013-05-30 14:27:01 UTC
Gal Hammer says his patch for bug 951481 solves error 6807 from comment 2:

664::INFO::2013-05-30 11:44:16,684::init_vio_serial::Failed opening \\.\Global\com.redhat.spice.0, error 6807
