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 xhan 2013-07-18 03:39:21 UTC 
Description of problem:

Installation with ahci interface failed because of "Storage Activation Failed: input/output error during read on /dev/sda"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Kernel:
3.10.0-0.rc7.64.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm:
qemu-kvm-1.5.1-2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start the installation with ahci interface
qemu -name virt-tests-vm1 -nodefaults \
-device ahci,id=ahci,addr=0x5 \
-drive file=RHEL-Server-6.4-64.qcow2,if=none,id=ahci0,media=disk,cache=unsafe,snapshot=off,format=qcow2,aio=native -device ide-drive,bus=ahci.0,drive=ahci0 \
-device e1000,netdev=idvo2fOy,mac=9a:0e:0f:10:11:12,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3,id=idtzF4wm \
-netdev tap,id=idvo2fOy -m 32768 -smp 16,maxcpus=16,cores=4,threads=2,sockets=2 \
-cpu SandyBridge \
-M pc \
-drive file=RHEL6.4-Server-x86_64.iso,index=2,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,media=cdrom,format=raw -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0 \
-device usb-tablet,id=usb-tablet1,bus=usb1.0,port=1 \
-spice port=5900,disable-ticketing \
-vga qxl \
-global qxl-vga.vram_size=33554432 -rtc base=utc,clock=host,driftfix=slew -boot order=cdn,once=d,menu=off -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -no-shutdown -enable-kvm

2. Continue to install, and when activating storage configuration
It prompts "Storage Activation Failed: input/output error during read on /dev/sda"

Actual results:

Installation aborts

Expected results:
Installation should be finished.

Additional info:
Comment 3 xhan 2013-07-18 06:19:38 UTC 
Install for guest rhel7, DiskLabelCommitError: Could not commit to disk /dev/sda would happen and then quit the installation.
Comment 4 xhan 2013-08-01 00:39:04 UTC 
Test on qemu-kvm-1.5.0-2.el7.x86_64, there is no this issue happens. Intallation can proceed.

Set this issue as a regression.

1. Reproduce this bug on the following version:
   qemu-kvm-1.5.1-2.el7.x86_64

(1) The guest in comment 0 is RHEL.6.4, but according to comment 6, ahci is not supported in RHEL.6.
   I think we can ignore this. (ps. I can reproduce the error in the summary)

(2) Tested with RHEL.7.0 guest, met the following error, which is similar to bz981723.
 
'Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 0'
'Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 1'
'Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 2'
'Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 3'
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Unhandled error code


2. Installation pass with qemu-kvm-1.5.3-66.el7.x86_64.

As the above info, I think this bug is a dup to bz981723.

Thanks for the information, Cong!

Given that AHCI is technically unsupported to begin with /and/ it is fixed in 1.5.3-66, I think we can safely close this.
