Freebsd works. Using a different controller with linux works. VMware with linux works. qemu 2.6.50 (v2.6.0-1925-g6b92bbf) seabios rel-1.9.0-139-gae3f78f (master branch, required for mptsas1068 support) Test script, loosely based off what libvirt runs and the libvirt tests that Paolo Bonzini wrote [1] ##################### iso=archlinux-2016.07.01-dual.iso #iso=FreeBSD-10.3-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso device=mptsas1068 #device=lsi img=empty.img qemu-img create -f qcow2 $img 1G /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 \ -enable-kvm \ -m 1024 \ -boot menu=on \ -device $device,id=scsi0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x9 \ -drive file=$img,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-0-0 \ -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=0,drive=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,id=scsi0-0-0-0,bootindex=2 \ -drive file=$iso,format=raw,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-1,readonly=on \ -device ide-cd,bus=ide.0,unit=1,drive=drive-ide0-0-1,id=ide0-0-1,bootindex=1 ##################### The ISOs can be downloaded from [2] and [3]. After booting linux, do "lsblk". /dev/sda should exist. After booting freebsd, do "geom disk list". A da0 / "QEMU QEMU HARDDISK" should be mentioned. With device=mptsas1068 this fails in linux. With device=lsi line it works in both. With VMWare and a linux VM (opensuse 10.1, kernel 2.6.18) which only loads modules for mptsas1068, this works. I also reproduced this with the debian 8.5 netinstall image, but it insists in making you pick a driver from a list of modules when it fails to mount it, instead of dropping to a shell.

An early version of this patch [4] said that it was only tested with FreeBSD: >Tested with FreeBSD for now. The previous version (before the >configuration page rewrite) worked with RHEL and Windows guests as well. > >TODO: write qtest for (at least) config pages, test Linux and Windows.
