Hi, Sorry for the late update. I do reproduce your issue when I use the v2.9 qemu version with older machine types <= 1.6 on leap42.3. I see you use "pc-i440fx-1.6". With machine types >=2.0, there's no such error. This is due to commit id f0c9d64a removes the adding ACPI_PCIHP_PROP_BSEL for 1.6 and older machine types, which causes an error when hotplugging a pci device using qemu v2.9.* and v2.10.0. The attached patch is to fix this, you can build qemu with the patch applied or build the qemu rpm and update to verify this.
