Re: [Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 0/8] Add Generic PCI host device update

[alvise rigo]

Hello Claudio,

Unfortunately I'm still not able to reproduce the problem.

I suspect though that the issue concerns the way the tests were conducted, so
I take this opportunity to ask Rob how many disks you used to test the initial
patch series.
I used something like:

-device lsi53c895a -drive if=scsi,index=1,file=scsi.img \
        -drive if=scsi,index=2,file=scsi_2.img ...

to attach the SCSI disks to the guest.

Thank you,
alvise
