The invalid console param in cmdline could cause the emergency service's failure with STDIN error, and the system can not reboot or enter the shell. This patch verify the cmdline and erase the buggy param. The invalid param can be reproduce by the following cmds -1. boot up a VM with the following cmd: qemu-kvm -name 'avocado-vt-vm1' -sandbox off -machine pc -nodefaults -vga cirrus \ -drive id=drive_image1,if=none,snapshot=off,aio=native,cache=none,format=qcow2,file=$guest_img \ -device virtio-blk-pci,id=image1,drive=drive_image1,bootindex=0,bus=pci.0,addr=04 \ -device virtio-net-pci,mac=9a:4d:4e:4f:50:51,id=id3DveCw,vectors=4,netdev=idgW5YRp,bus=pci.0,addr=05 \ -netdev tap,id=idgW5YRp \ -m 2048 \ -smp 4,maxcpus=4,cores=2,threads=1,sockets=2 \ -cpu 'SandyBridge',+kvm_pv_unhalt \ -vnc :0 \ -rtc base=utc,clock=host,driftfix=slew \ -boot order=cdn,once=c,menu=off,strict=off \ -enable-kvm \ -monitor stdio \ -qmp tcp:localhost:4444,server,nowait -2. in kernel cmdline with the following options: console=tty0 console=ttyS0, Because the "-nodefaults" option in qemu cmd excludes the emulation of serial port, the ttyS0 will have no real backend device.
