Package: qemu-kvm
Version: 0.15.1
Severity: normal
This bug is related to the four packages qemu, qemu-kvm, seabios and
libvirt.
Since libvirt-0.9.3 the "bootindex" Option of qemu / qemu-kvm is
supported. libvirt used the following command to detect the
availability of bootindex:
kvm "-device" "pci-assign,?" 2>&1 | grep bootindex
When libvirt detects a version of qemu with announces this
option, it drops the usage of "-boot [abcd]" and uses the "-device
...,bootindex=[1-9]" option instead. This break specifying the boot
device when using qemu-version >= 0.14.
This only works with the SeaBIOS-version shipped with qemu itself (for
qemu-0.15.1 this is SeaBIOS-0.6.3 as far as I know), since qemu passes
an "bootorder" file to the BIOS, which is then not processed by the old
version of SeaBIOS. SeaBIOS-git also works.
A new version of SeaBIOS would probably be the best solution, since
stripping the SeaBIOS binary from qemu is required for DFSG cleanliness.
Qemu (and thus libvirt) does not have a method to detect if the bios.bin
binary file contains support for bootindex.
