Public bug reported:
Attempting to use the sgabios ROM to capture early boot BIOS messages on
the serial console. Typically this can be done via libvirt domain
configuration:
<os>
<bios useserial='yes'/>
</os>
Resulting in the qemu process being launched with a '-device sga'
argument that should load the optional ROM.
The sgabios package installs the ROM @ /usr/share/misc/sgabios.bin and
symlinks to it from /usr/share/qemu/sgabios.bin
I noticed the expected serial output was missing and found that apparmor
is preventing sgabios from loading when spawning the VM:
[ 1378.106921] type=1400 audit(1416255684.049:23): apparmor="DENIED"
operation="open" profile="libvirt-c08c4756-2e2c-4c62-a519-0e3ac0cf643d"
name="/usr/share/misc/sgabios.bin" pid=13182 comm="qemu-system-x86"
requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=110 ouid=0
Worked around by manually installing the sgabios.bin file directly to
/usr/share/qemu/sgabios.bin
