Hi folks:
As most of you might know, we run some daily sanity and functional tests
with both qemu-kvm.git and qemu.git. I decided to write asking for help
with regards to what it appears to be a problem with the e1000 nw card
(the default). Here is a list of what it fails pretty much every day for
qemu.git:
1) Problems logging into guest with e1000 card
kvm.qemu-git.RHEL.5.5.i386.e1000.boot FAIL Could not log into guest 'vm1'
kvm.qemu-git.RHEL.5.5.i386.e1000.reboot FAIL Could not log into guest 'vm1'
kvm.qemu-git.RHEL.5.5.i386.e1000.shutdown FAIL Could not log into guest 'vm1'
^ At first I thought this was some sort of intermittent, harmless
problem, but it reproduces fairly frequently, thing that pretty much
doesn't happen with virtio.
kvm.qemu-git.RHEL.5.5.i386.virtio_net.boot GOOD completed successfully
kvm.qemu-git.RHEL.5.5.i386.virtio_net.reboot GOOD completed successfully
kvm.qemu-git.RHEL.5.5.i386.virtio_net.shutdown GOOD completed successfully
Looking at test logs and screenshots the only thing that I found
abnormal was:
2010-09-23 05:51:02: EXT3-fs: recovery complete.
2010-09-23 05:51:02: EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

2010-09-23 05:53:16: ide: failed opcode was: 0xec
^ Serial logs for the RHEL5.5 guest. If someone wants the full serial
log, please let me know.
2) Qemu dies during unattended install
kvm.qemu-git.RHEL.5.5.x86_64.e1000.unattended_install.cdrom ERROR Guest died before end of OS install
^ This is the bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/588955
Which is, according to preliminary investigation done, a bug on the
slirp code. IMHO, we really need to start looking into those issues,
even because e1000 is the default network card.
Cheers,
Lucas
