Package: qemu-kvm Version: 1.0+dfsg-1 Severity: normal
after upgrading from 0.15.1+dfsg-1 to 1.0+dfsg-1 in experimental, a large number of vms stopped working. 2. netbsd4 and netbsd5 both of these boot, but cannot find the pcnet network card, nor other network cards supported by both qemu-kvm and netbsd. both the generic as wlel as the generic-noacpi kernel have this behaviour. the netbsd 1.6 image downloadable from http://wiki.qemu.org/Download shows the same problems, e.g. when started with: qemu -drive file=small.ffs -net nic,model=pcnet downgrading to 0.15.1 fixes this. 2. freebsd 7 and 8 when trying to mount the root filesystem, the kernel outputs only a seemingly endless number of DMA timeout errors (both use ide), in about 50% of all boots. downgrading makes them work. 3. openbsd 4.4 and openbsd 4.5 both of these end up in the kernel debugger after a "panic: pci_make_tag: bad request", which sems to be an acpi-related function. downgrading to 0.15.1 fixes this. 4. scsi does not boot apparently, the ability ot boot from scsi has been removed deliberately. the problem is that the only workaround for this is the use of a non-free firmware file by lsi logic, which is hard to locate because the cards are long past EOL. and, well, it's not even redistributable. this of course hampers converting vms from other products, as these often use the lsi logic controller for better performance than ide, but these vms no longer boot in 1.0. downgrading to 0.15.1 makes it work again, as 0.15.1 still has the ability to boot from scsi. assuming 1..3 are just some bug(s), #4 is especially troubling, because debian will be unlikely to redistribute the option rom that is suggested as a workaround, so will only support vms with ide. -- Package-specific info: /proc/cpuinfo: processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family
