http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1158111 Bug ID: 1158111 Summary: virt-manager fails to create a ppc64le virtual machine Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Factory Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Virtualization:Tools Assignee: virt-bugs@suse.de Reporter: tjcw@cantab.net QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 825241 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=825241&action=edit Screenshot of boot failure I am running Tumbleweed 20191128 on an x86-64 system. I want to install a ppc64le virtual machine from the ubuntu-18.04.3-server-ppc64el.iso DVD image. When I try this using virt-manager, the DVD fails to boot with a message about 'Not a bootable device!' ; see attached screenshot. virt-manager works properly for this under OpenSUSE Leap 15.1 . Also qemu-system-ppc64 -cdrom ubuntu-18.04.3-server-ppc64el.iso -m size=1024 boots as far as the ubuntu installer, but this system has no virtual disk so I cannot install with it. Also this command seems to take 2 passes through the grub menu before it boots. To reproduce the problem, install the 'kvm' virtualisation software and the 'qemu-ppc' package. Then virt-manager 'create a new virtual machine' offers an architecture option ppc64le and a machine type pseries. Point it as the ubuntu-18.04.3-server-ppc64el.iso file which is downloadable from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/18.04/release/ubuntu-18.04.3-server-ppc64... . Tumbleweed worked for this about a year ago; between then and now, qemu has changed from v3 to v4. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
