The iPXE patches are now upstream (a big "thank you" to the iPXE maintainer!); QEMU 2.8 -- with Gerd willing -- should bundle iPXE binaries containing that fix.

I'm no longer able to PXE boot at all. Everything else appears to function normally. Non PXE booting and everything else is perfect. Obviously have restarted everying etc. Have tried the various network drivers also. This occurs on domains created with 2.6.1 or with 2.7 When I choose PXE boot, the machine moves to a paused state (crashed) immediately after the 'starting PXE rom execution...' message appears. Reverting to qemu 2.6.1 package corrects the issue. The qemu.log snippet follows below. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this problem to determine if it's a packaging error by the distribution or a problem with qemu/kvm/kernel? Any help would be much appreciated - Thanks, Greg --- qemu.log: 2016-09-12 16:36:33.867+0000: starting up libvirt version: 2.2.0, qemu version: 2.7.0, hostname: seneca LC_ALL=C PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=spice /usr/sbin/qemu-system-x86_64 -name guest=c,debug- threads=on -S -object secret,id=masterKey0,format=raw,file=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain-6- c/master-key.aes -machine pc-i440fx-2.7,accel=kvm,usb=off,vmport=off -cpu Nehalem -m 2048 -realtime mlock=off -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -uuid 348009be-26d5-4dc7-b515- e8b45f5117ac -no-user-config -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain-6- c/monitor.sock,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=utc,driftfix=slew -global kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=discard -no-hpet -no-shutdown -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=1 -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=1 -boot menu=on,strict=on -device ich9-usb-ehci1,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6.0x7 -device ich9-usb- uhci1,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=0,bus=pci.0,multifunction=on,addr=0x6 -device ich9-usb- uhci2,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=2,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6.0x1 -device ich9- usb-uhci3,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=4,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6.0x2 -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/c.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive- virtio-disk0 -device virtio-blk- pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio- disk0,bootindex=1 -netdev tap,fd=28,id=hostnet0 -device rtl8139,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:a0:95:7c,bus=pci.0,addr=0x 3 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa- serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -chardev socket,id=charchannel0,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/domain -6-c/org.qemu.guest_agent.0,server,nowait -device virtserialport,bus=virtio- serial0.0,nr=1,chardev=charchannel0,id=channel0,name=org.qemu.guest_age nt.0 -chardev spicevmc,id=charchannel1,name=vdagent -device virtserialport,bus=virtio- serial0.0,nr=2,chardev=charchannel1,id=channel1,name=com.redhat.spice.0 -device usb-tablet,id=input0,bus=usb.0,port=1 -spice port=5901,addr=127.0.0.1,disable-ticketing,image- compression=off,seamless-migration=on -device qxl- vga,id=video0,ram_size=67108864,vram_size=67108864,vram64_size_mb=0,vga mem_mb=16,max_outputs=1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x2 -device intel- hda,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -device hda-duplex,id=sound0- codec0,bus=sound0.0,cad=0 -chardev spicevmc,id=charredir0,name=usbredir -device usb-redir,chardev=charredir0,id=redir0,bus=usb.0,port=2 -chardev spicevmc,id=charredir1,name=usbredir -device usb- redir,chardev=charredir1,id=redir1,bus=usb.0,port=3 -device virtio- balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8 -msg timestamp=on char device redirected to /dev/pts/0 (label charserial0) main_channel_link: add main channel client red_dispatcher_set_cursor_peer: inputs_connect: inputs channel client create KVM internal error.
