Package: kvm Version: 1:0.12.3+dfsg-4 Severity: normal
After an upgrade none of my virtual machines will start any more. They all give the error "isa irq 4 already assigned". This appears to be because you can no longer give more than two -serial options to kvm. : root; kvm -name example -m 64 -drive index=0,file=/dev/mapper/example_ROOT_snapshot,if=virtio,boot=on,media=disk -drive index=1,file=/usr/local/lib/empty-1Gb.qcow2,if=virtio,media=disk,snapshot=on -drive index=2,file=/dev/mapper/example_data,if=virtio,media=cdrom -drive index=3,file=/dev/mapper/example_var,if=virtio,media=disk -nographic -monitor unix:/var/local/virtual-machines/example.monitor,server,nowait -serial stdio -serial unix:/var/local/virtual-machines/example.serial1,server,nowait -serial unix:/var/local/virtual-machines/example.serial2,server,nowait -serial unix:/var/local/virtual-machines/example.serial3,server,nowait -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:88:00:B,model=virtio -net tap,ifname=tap10 isa irq 4 already assigned same thing with one less -serial option : root; kvm -name example -m 64 -drive index=0,file=/dev/mapper/example_ROOT_snapshot,if=virtio,boot=on,media=disk -drive index=1,file=/usr/local/lib/empty-1Gb.qcow2,if=virtio,media=disk,snapshot=on -drive index=2,file=/dev/mapper/example_data,if=virtio,media=cdrom -drive index=3,file=/dev/mapper/example_var,if=virtio,media=disk -nographic -monitor unix:/var/local/virtual-machines/example.monitor,server,nowait -serial stdio -serial unix:/var/local/virtual-machines/example.serial1,server,nowait -serial unix:/var/local/virtual-machines/example.serial2,server,nowait -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:88:00:B,model=virtio -net tap,ifname=tap10 isa irq 4 already assigned but with just 2 serial options kvm works : root; kvm -name example -m 64 -drive index=0,file=/dev/mapper/example_ROOT_snapshot,if=virtio,boot=on,media=disk -drive index=1,file=/usr/local/lib/empty-1Gb.qcow2,if=virtio,media=disk,snapshot=on -drive index=2,file=/dev/mapper/example_data,if=virtio,media=cdrom -drive index=3,file=/dev/mapper/example_var,if=virtio,media=disk -nographic -monitor unix:/var/local/virtual-machines/example.monitor,server,nowait -serial stdio -serial unix:/var/local/virtual-machines/example.serial1,server,nowait -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:88:00:B,model=virtio -net tap,ifname=tap10 Press any key to continue. It appears that we can only have two -serial options now. Let's check without "-serial stdio". : root; kvm -name example -m 64 -drive index=0,file=/dev/mapper/example_ROOT_snapshot,if=virtio,boot=on,media=disk -drive index=1,file=/usr/local/lib/empty-1Gb.qcow2,if=virtio,media=disk,snapshot=on -drive index=2,file=/dev/mapper/example_data,if=virtio,media=cdrom -drive index=3,file=/dev/mapper/example_var,if=virtio,media=disk -nographic -monitor unix:/var/local/virtual-machines/example.monitor,server,nowait -serial unix:/var/local/virtual-machines/example.serial0,server,nowait -serial unix:/var/local/virtual-machines/example.serial1,server,nowait -serial unix:/var/local/virtual-machines/example.serial2,server,nowait -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:88:00:B,model=virtio -net tap,ifname=tap10 isa irq 4 already assigned yes, 3 serial options no longer work : root; kvm -name example -m 64 -drive index=0,file=/dev/mapper/example_ROOT_snapshot,if=virtio,boot=on,media=disk -drive index=1,file=/usr/local/lib/empty-1Gb.qcow2,if=virtio,media=disk,snapshot=on -drive index=2,file=/dev/mapper/example_data,if=virtio,media=cdrom -drive index=3,file=/dev/mapper/example_var,if=virtio,media=disk -nographic -monitor unix:/var/local/virtual-machines/example.monitor,server,nowait -serial unix:/var/local/virtual-machines/example.serial0,server,nowait -serial unix:/var/local/virtual-machines/example.serial1,server,nowait -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:88:00:B,model=virtio -net tap,ifname=tap10 with two serial options it works The kvm(1) still says "This option can be used several times to simulate up to 4 serial ports."
