...and make machine version configurable in the GUI, to allow users to return to the default behaviour of always using the latest one.
The workaround is based on a postinst script running when upgrading the qemu-server package, which sets the machine version of all effected Windows VMs to pc-(i440fx|q35)-5.1 to pin them to the last version still using the old ACPI table layout. Note: the postinst patch requires Fabian's #3301 series: https://lists.proxmox.com/pipermail/pve-devel/2021-March/047175.html pve-qemu: Stefan Reiter (2): add static supported machines file add ACPI compat patch for 5.1 and older machine types debian/parse-machines.pl | 21 ++++ ...restore-device-paths-for-pre-5.1-vms.patch | 108 ++++++++++++++++++ debian/patches/series | 1 + debian/rules | 4 +- 4 files changed, 133 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100755 debian/parse-machines.pl create mode 100644 debian/patches/extra/0009-i386-acpi-restore-device-paths-for-pre-5.1-vms.patch qemu-server: Stefan Reiter (2): api: add Machine module to query machine types add postinst with Windows device incompatibility workaround PVE/API2/Qemu/Machine.pm | 49 +++++++++++++++++++++ PVE/API2/Qemu/Makefile | 2 +- debian/postinst | 95 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 145 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 PVE/API2/Qemu/Machine.pm create mode 100755 debian/postinst manager: Stefan Reiter (3): api: register Qemu::Machine call ui: create MachineEdit window ui: MachineEdit: add option for machine version pinning PVE/API2/Nodes.pm | 6 ++ www/manager6/Makefile | 1 + www/manager6/qemu/HardwareView.js | 16 +---- www/manager6/qemu/MachineEdit.js | 107 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 115 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) create mode 100644 www/manager6/qemu/MachineEdit.js -- 2.20.1 _______________________________________________ pve-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-devel
