Package: qemu-system-x86 Version: 2.1+dfsg-5+b1 Severity: normal virtio-scsi is quite unreliable compared to the version in wheezy. I see many crashes, with this output:
qemu-system-x86_64: wrong size for virtio-scsi headers This looks like the bug referenced at https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-04/msg03281.html Sometimes, instead of crashing, it starts denying all writes to the guest, which normally makes the guest kernel report "I/O Error". No qemu output is produced in this case. The crash is much more common, though. A reliable way for me to reproduce this problem is to do a net-install of OpenBSD/amd64 using the media at http://openbsd.mirrors.pair.com/snapshots/amd64/cd56.iso . It succeeds in partitioning the disk and writing filesystems to it, but when it tries to unpack the base system tarballs, it triggers one of the failure modes described above, every time. The same guest works fine if I emulate a different kind of disk controller. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages qemu-system-x86 depends on: ii ipxe-qemu 1.0.0+git-20141004.86285d1-1 ii libaio1 0.3.110-1 ii libasound2 1.0.28-1 ii libbluetooth3 5.23-1 ii libbrlapi0.6 5.2~20141018-1 ii libc6 2.19-12 ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.38.0-2 ii libfdt1 1.4.0+dfsg-1 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.1-19 ii libglib2.0-0 2.42.0-2 ii libgnutls-deb0-28 3.3.8-3 ii libiscsi2 1.12.0-2 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.3.1-10 ii libncurses5 5.9+20140913-1 ii libpixman-1-0 0.32.6-3 ii libpng12-0 1.2.50-2 ii libpulse0 5.0-13 ii librados2 0.80.7-1 ii librbd1 0.80.7-1 ii libsasl2-2 2.1.26.dfsg1-12 ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.15-10 ii libseccomp2 2.1.1-1 ii libspice-server1 0.12.5-1+b1 ii libssh2-1 1.4.3-4 ii libtinfo5 5.9+20140913-1 ii libusb-1.0-0 2:1.0.19-1 ii libusbredirparser1 0.7-1 ii libuuid1 2.25.2-2 ii libvdeplug2 2.3.2+r586-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 ii libxen-4.4 4.4.1-3 ii libxenstore3.0 4.4.1-3 ii qemu-system-common 2.1+dfsg-5+b1 ii seabios 1.7.5-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2 Versions of packages qemu-system-x86 recommends: ii qemu-utils 2.1+dfsg-5+b1 Versions of packages qemu-system-x86 suggests: ii kmod 18-3 pn ovmf <none> pn samba <none> pn sgabios <none> pn vde2 <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
