@Horacio, The bug report does not list your precise qemu version. A somewhat recent update to natty's qemu added the commit "505597e4476a6bc219d0ec1362b760d71cb4fdca: Ignore pci unplug requests for unpluggable devices (CVE-2011-1751)".
Can you retry with qemu-kvm 0.14.0+noroms-0ubuntu4.3 and let us know if you can still reproduce? Note, I tried to reproduce, but I only was able to hot-unplug the 'PCI ram controller', and unplugging it did not affect qemu-kvm. ** Changed in: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) Importance: Low => High ** Changed in: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) Importance: High => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/804593 Title: Many "Safely remove" icons on virtualized XPs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/804593/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
