[Qemu-devel] qemu-2.7 regression, IPXE boot in HVM fails

[Olaf Hering]

The following HVM domU.cfg crashes during boot from emulated network
with qemu 2.7, but it works fine with qemu stable-2.6 branch:

name='hvm'
memory=1024
vcpus=2
boot="n"
disk=[ 'file:/disk0.raw,hda,w', ]
vif=[ 'mac=00:08:15:41:10:80,bridge=br0', ]
keymap="de"
serial="pty"
builder="hvm"
vnc=1
vncunused=1
device_model_version="qemu-xen"
device_model_override="/usr/lib/qemu-2.7/bin/qemu-system-i386"


qemu build environment is identical for 2.6 and 2.7. dom0 is current
xen.git#staging-4.7. xl dmesg shows no obvious difference, the output is
identical for both boot attempts except for the crash part:

Is there something that could be copied from /usr/lib/qemu-2.6 to
/usr/lib/qemu-2.7 to check if its related to the emulated ROMs?
