Package: autopkgtest
Version: 5.16
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
I found that autopkgtest-virt-qemu in bullseye doesn't boot my disk
images. The version in buster was working fine.
Using --show-boot I found that the VM doesn't boot at all:
Booting from Hard Disk...
Boot failed: could not read the boot disk
The reason is that my disk images are raw images, not qcow2. I found
that autopkgtest runs qemu-img to create an overlay file in qcow2
format, but it configures qemu with the base image format (format=raw)
instead of the overlay format (format=qcow2). I converted an image to
qcow2 format and then it worked fine.
I'm attaching a patch to use format=qcow2 for the overlay image. Please
let me know if you'd prefer a Salsa merge request instead.
Thank you,
Ryan

Subject: [PATCH] Fix qemu failing to boot raw base image
The overlay file is created with 'qemu-img -f qcow2', so pass
'format=qcow2' when using an overlay image. Otherwise, use the base
image format.
