There is a boot regression in kvm-72:
scsi and virtio images will not survive a "reboot" from within the
guest. Only drives with if=ide survives a rebooting of the guest.
That is, this will create a guest that will survive any number of reboots:
qemu-system-x86_64 -M -drive file=a,if=ide,media=disk,boot=on -boot c
While this will only survive the first boot:
qemu-system-x86_64 -M -drive file=a,if=scsi,media=disk,boot=on -boot c OR
qemu-system-x86_64 -M -drive file=a,if=virtio,media=disk,boot=on -boot c
Also the extboot work done by H. Peter Anvin finally makes the newer
isolinux menus to work but the older isolinux (for example the
installer to ubuntu 7.10) still does not work. It no longer segfaults
though but instead the guest completely hangs. Much improvement
though!
