The patch at http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/162828 fixes it for ioeventfd=on (the bug is that the ioeventfd is not added to the select() arguments), but I and Avi disagreed on whether ioeventfd=off works. :)
Jamie/Richard/Georg, can you test your respective reproducers without any patch but with -global virtio-blk-pci.ioeventfd=off? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1021649 Title: qemu 1.1.0 waits for a keypress at boot Status in QEMU: Confirmed Status in “qemu-kvm” package in Debian: Confirmed 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. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1021649/+subscriptions
