http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=994082 Bug ID: 994082 Summary: qemu smbios option doesn't work properly Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.2 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Virtualization:Other Assignee: kvm-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: lnussel@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- openQA uses the smbios option to pass smbios tables from a Laptop to the VM so we can see how a system behaves on a Laptop. The used files are here: https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/tree/master/dmidata/dell_e6330 The script to create them one level higher. The files are unchanged since >= years and worked 10 months ago with 42.1 as guest. With current qemu in Leap and Factory that doesn't work anymore. /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/ doesn't contain chassis_type and dmidecode throws an error. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

It triggered this issue if user specifies the machine type like '-machine pc-i440fx-2.1,...' or newer. will dig seabios code later. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hi Lin Ma, can you state if you plan to handle this reopened bug? The reminder comment point to recurring reproducing test failures which the openQA test reviewers assume is still due to this bug. E.g. https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/725482/file/video.ogv#t=114.21,114.25 is one of the latest examples showing how the first boot entry is selected but then the system fails to boot and is as it looks like rebooting/crashing.
Sorry for the late responding, a little bit busy recently. These urls are hardly open by my browser in Beijing office, The connection to opensuse.org is terrible, I can't see them. The issue which was described by comment 1 won't cause boot failure. The previous patches were designed for avoid to throw errors while dmidecoding smbios tables in guest. So far I have no idea what changes cause the boot failure, will take a look at it, but It takes time, I need to finish fates first in my hand. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

If guest os is leap42.3+ and machine type <=2.3 in qemu cmd line, the issue which mentioned by c16 can be reproduced. 2. If guest os is sles 11sp4,12+ or 15, the issue which mentioned by c16 can NOT be reproduced, whatever the machine type is. 3. This is a new issue, not the same one that described by c1. Is it possible for you that adjust machine type to 2.4+ in openqa environment as a workaround? do you have anyelse testcases which need machine type 2.0? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
