Hi there,
I have a KVM-Autotest related problem. I am trying to install a linux system
with stepmaker, but every time I get "[qemu output] qemu-kvm:
../hw/ide/pci.h:37: bmdma_active_if: Assertion `bmdma->unit != (uint8_t)-1'
failed.", but at different steps. Host is Fedora 15 with latest updates.
Here is my configuration in detail and the crash log.
--- Host machine
- CPU model name: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz
- Installed qemu-kvm package is ver 0.14.0, arch x86_64, rel 8.fc15
- output of "uname -r": Linux 00schneider 2.6.41.1-1.fc15.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri
Nov 11 21:36:28 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
- Autotest is a git clone of the master branch as of 2 Dec (commit
d942209251a14b39e6d391df3f4dbbec597a87f9 on 24 Nov)
- qemu command line see in output below
--- Guest machine
- output of "uname -r" on another manually installed vm, same system: Linux

--- Relevant part of tests.cfg, let us call it Case(0):
# Runs qemu-kvm, Security Gateway 5.4.0 32 bit guest OS, install with
stepmaker, boot, shutdown
- @qemu_kvm_single_security_gateway_5_4_0:
qemu_binary = /usr/bin/qemu-kvm
qemu_img_binary = /usr/bin/qemu-img
used_cpus = 1
used_mem = 1024
smp = 1
mem = 1024
only raw
only virtio_net
only virtio_blk
only up
only no_pci_assignable
only smallpages
only Security.Gateway.5.4.0
only install, boot, shutdown
Previously I tried here with other settings as well. In those cases,
used_cpus, used_mem, smp, mem were not overwritten, and the following always
remained constant:
qemu_binary = /usr/bin/qemu-kvm
qemu_img_binary = /usr/bin/qemu-img
only no_pci_assignable
only smallpages
only Security.Gateway.5.4.0
only install, boot, shutdown
Other varying settings I tried resulting in the same assertion failure at some
point:
Case(1)
only qcow2
only rtl8139
only ide
only smp2
[...]
Case(2)
only qcow2
only rtl8139
only ide
only up
[...]
Case(3)
only qcow2
only rtl8139
only virtio_blk
only smp2
[...]
Case(4)
only qcow2
only rtl8139
only virtio_blk
only up
[...]
Case(5)
only raw
only virtio_net
only virtio_blk
only smp2
[...]
The assertion failure always occurs at some point, when I would like to send
some keyboard input with stepmaker, except in Case(5), then I get it
immediately. With basic only ide settings, assertion failure usually occurs
after reboot upon the first input. In all the other cases assertion failure
occurs at some other step upon providing input. These are based only on a few
observations, I would not consider them statistically significant. You get the
idea though.
Note: Installing and booting the same linux system manually with virt-manager
0.8.7 using kvm, 4 vcpus and virtio works without any quirks.
Please let me know if you need more info. E.g. the output of my
"autotest/client/common_lib/cartesian_config.py
autotest/client/tests/kvm/tests.cfg -c" and the virsh dumpxml of my manually
installed system could be useful.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Kristóf
