[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1021649] Re: qemu 1.1.0 waits for a keypress at boot

[Michael Tokarev]

This is a bit more interesting.  I've got a bugreport in debian about
the same thing, and verified it in debian qemu-kvm package - indeed,
with -nographics, upstream 1.1 qemu and qemu-kvm refuses to boot without
an extra keypress, but only when kernel_irqchip is enabled.  Ie, the
following requires keypress:

  qemu -machine pc,accel=kvm,kernel_irqchip=on -nographics
  qemu-kvm -nographics

and the following does not:

  qemu -machine pc,accel=kvm -nographics
  qemu-kvm  -no-kvm-irqchip -nographics

Thanks,

Title:
  qemu 1.1.0 waits for a keypress at boot

Status in QEMU:
  New
Status in “qemu-kvm” package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  qemu 1.1.0 waits for a keypress at boot.  Please don't ever do this.

  Try the attached test script.  When run it will initially print
  nothing, until you hit a key on the keyboard.

  Removing -nographic fixes the problem.

  Using virtio-scsi instead of virtio-blk fixes the problem.
