[Qemu-devel] [Bug 643430] Re: system_powerdown is working in qemu-kvm with KVM enabled for FreeBSD guests

[Dennis Krul]

I have the same issue with FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE (i386 and x86_64) on
qemu-kvm 0.12.5 (Fedora 13)

system_powerdown works properly for Linux and Windows 2008 guests, but
not for FreeBSD The ACPI power button event is not received by the
FreeBSD guest.

I found this (unconfirmed) status report:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg40064.html

So it seems to be a regression...

You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu-

Status in QEMU: New

Bug description:
system_powerdown stops working in qemu-kvm for FreeBSD guests if KVM is enabled.

How to reproduce:

1. qemu -cdrom ~/.VirtualBox/libvirt/FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso
2. Enter system_powerdown in the qemu console
3. Nothing happens.

Adding --no-kvm option makes system_powerdown work:

1. qemu --no-kvm -cdrom 
~/.VirtualBox/libvirt/FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso
2. system_powerdown
3. FreeBSD installer shows the shutdown dialog as expected

Tested on FreeBSD 6.4, 7.2, and 8.0 with qemu-kvm 0.12.5 and older versions.
