reply to Michael Tokarev: Windows qcow2 image will be more easier for reproducing the issue I reported. And there's a great chance to reproduce it when you do the first try after rebooting the system.

If you press some key to continue, after being automatically repaired, the guest can boot up. This should be a qemu-kvm regression. kvm + qemu-kvm = result 51bfd299 + e54f008e = bad 51bfd299 + b320b8b7 = good Note: 1. guest rhel6u1, guest show “disk error” guest rhel6u2, guest show black screen this phenomenon occurs at the first time to create guest 2. create guest with raw image, this phenomenon doesn’t appear. Reproduce steps: ---------------- 1.start up a host with kvm (commit: 51bfd299) and use qemu-kvm (commit:e54f008e) 2.qemu-img create –b /share/ia32e_rhel6u1.img –f qcow2 /root/rhel6u1.qcow 3.qemu-system-x86_64 -mem 1024 –hda /root/rhel6u1.qcow Current result: ---------------- Guest console shows: error 25:Disk read error Prss any key to continue... Expected result: ---------------- Guest boot up correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1002121/+subscriptions
