The dev is as expected the virtio network card <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:cc:a3:b7'/> <source network='default'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface>
There is no explicit rom specified on the guest commandlines, so they pick their defaults. Trying to list what they load: $ strace -e open /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -M pc-i440fx-trusty -device virtio-net -S -nographic -nodefaults 2>&1 | grep virtio Shows /usr/lib/ipxe/qemu/efi-virtio.rom in both cases. And this is actually matching the error sizes 0x4000 = 256k vs 0x8000 = 512k (next best power of 2). I remember vague to have seen a similar issue long ago, trusty maybe even precise. After a while I found it - a revival of one of my most hated issues bug 1291321. Almost tempted to downgrade ipxe in artful to do this properly and with some time into 18.04 - but for now take some time to debug further. ** Changed in: ipxe (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: ipxe (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Critical ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713490 Title: error migrating blocked on virtio-net-pci.rom To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipxe/+bug/1713490/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
