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 Chao Yang 2013-08-08 11:36:56 UTC 
Description of problem:
Started a guest with ide and virtio-scsi disks attached. When trying to install windows OS into ide disk, I hit "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup log files" after clicking "Next".

1. Changing lun=0 in cli to lun=1 worked around this issue.
2. Installing virtio-scsi driver worked around this issue before clicking 'Next'

If this bug is not a bug, please clarify why, why changing to lun=1 or installing virtio-scsi driver(with lun=0 set) works?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.382.el6.x86_64
2.6.32-407.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

Comment 2 Asias He 2013-08-27 09:22:51 UTC 
Reproduced this on win7 and win2012.
Comment 3 Asias He 2013-08-28 02:43:00 UTC 
I can not reproduce this installing rhel6.5 guest with the same setup. This might be a windows specific issue.
Comment 4 Asias He 2013-09-02 23:53:15 UTC 
Yan, would you take a look at this issue. Thanks.

Yan, you cleared the needinfo() flag, but added no comments. Do you have any idea of what's going on here?

I think it happened by mistake. I wanted to move the bug or the need_info to Vadim who is responsible for virtio-scsi.
Comment 9 Vadim Rozenfeld 2014-01-12 12:24:20 UTC 
Can we please try the latest drivers from build 74?
I was able to install it on Win7SP1 with the following command line

-name test -M pc -cpu host -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 2,sockets=4,cores=2,threads=1,maxcpus=8 -rtc base=localtime,clock=host,driftfix=slew -device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi -drive file=/home/vrozenfe/work/images/windows7.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=qcow2,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop,aio=native -device scsi-disk,bus=scsi.0,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0,bootindex=1,lun=0 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -device e1000,netdev=hostnet0,mac=24:2A:44:3F:2F:5A,id=net0 -vga std -monitor stdio -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=0 -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=0 -cdrom /home/vrozenfe/work/isos/en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_x86_dvd_u_677056.iso -boot menu=on -fda /home/vrozenfe/work/isos/vioscsi.vfd -drive file=/home/vrozenfe/work/images/test.qcow2,if=none,id=ide,format=qcow2,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop,aio=native -device ide-drive,drive=ide,bus=ide.1,unit=1

without any flaws.

Thaks,
Vadim.

It is still reproducible with -74 to me. Without loading vioscsi driver first, it is not allowed to proceed to install OS onto ide disk.

Got you, 
I was thinking that you failed to install Windows on vioscsi drive.
Will check it again.
