Hi,
Bug subject should be virtio-blk, not virtio-scsi. virtio-scsi is a
different virtio device type from virtoi-blk and is not present in the
backtrace you posted.
Sounds pedantic but I want to make sure this gets chalked up against the
right device :).
If I try to Install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS / 12.10 64-bit on a virtio
storage backend that supports iSCSI
qemu-kvm crashes reliably with the following error:
Are you using vanilla qemu-kvm-1.2.0 or are there patches applied?
Have you tried qemu-kvm.git/master?
Have you tried a local raw disk image to check whether libiscsi is
involved?
Bad ram pointer 0x3039303620008000
This happens directly after the confirmation of the Timezone before
the Disk is partitioned.
If I specify -global virtio-blk-pci.scsi=off in the cmdline this
does not happen.
Here is a stack trace:

buffer and len are ASCII junk. It appears to be hex digits and it's not
clear where they come from.
It would be interesting to print *elem one stack frame up in #3
virtqueue_fill() to show the iovecs and in/out counts.
(gdb) print *elem
Great, thanks for providing this info:

The fields are bogus, in_sg has been overwritten with ASCII data.
Unfortunately I don't see any hint of where this ASCII data came from
yet.
The hdr fields you provided in stack frame #6 show that in_sg was
overwritten during or after the bdrv_ioctl() call. We pulled valid
data out of the vring and mapped buffers correctly. But something is
overwriting in_sg and when we complete the request we blow up due to
the bogus values.
Ok. What I have to mention. I've been testing with qemu-kvm 1.2.0
and libiscsi for a few weeks now. Its been very stable. The only thing
it blows up is during the debian/ubuntu installer. Ubuntu itself for
instance is running flawlessly. My guess is that the installer is probing
for something. The installer itself also runs flawlessly when I disable
scsi passthru with scsi=off.
Please post your full qemu-kvm command-line.

Please also post the exact qemu-kvm version you are using. I can see
it's based on qemu-kvm-1.2.0 but are there any patches applied (e.g.
distro packages may carry patches so the full package version
information would be useful)?
I use vanilly qemu-kvm 1.2.0 with some cherry picked patches. I will
retry with untouched qemu-kvm 1.2.0 and latest git tomorrow at latest.
Thanks,
Stefan
Thank you, too
