Package: libvirt-bin, qemu-kvm
Severity: normal

The problem with this bug is much bigger. (I think it is related to that
bug, correct me if not.)

I want to run my old OS/2 in a qemu/kvm virtualisation. This work pretty
well if I start it with qemu directly:
   QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=oss qemu -m 128 -localtime -boot c -hda 
/misc/libvirt/images/os2.img -cdrom /dev/cdrom -soundhw sb16

But when I try to run it with libvirt the system will not boot at all.
They could not even be booted from the disk at all. More over I tried to
boot from a floppy with failed too but that is not the real problem.

The problem is (as I was able to track it down), that libvirt do not use
"-hda" than the construct "-drive
file=/misc/libvirt/images/os2.img,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,format=qcow2
- -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0"
which is not bootable anymore.

It seems as the developers make the call more generic they overshoot the
mark.

Unfortunately the old packages (0.7.5-6) are not available anymore on
all mirrors so I was not able to test it.
