Control: retitle 686524 qemu-kvm: guests with -nographic -serial pty won't start until input to console is made Control: forwarded 686524 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/168265
I'm retitling the bugreport to reflect our findings. As stated before, -serial pty "works" the same as the longer version with -chardev pty and -device isa-serial. The important points here is -nographic and pty. This shuld be rather popular config for "headless" guests such as routers (your case?), but it is still uncommon - people use either text console (maybe with screen) or regular graphics screen more often than running it headless with console on a serial port. This is why we haven't hit this issue before, and why I don't think this bug deserves to have "grave" severity. Do you not agree? It does not mean we should not fix it ofcourse.
