Hello, I tried to create a virtual VFAT floppy image on-the-fly with qemi(-kvm)-1.1.1 using the command line argument -drive file=fat:floppy:"$WORK/floppy",if=floppy,index=0
Everything worked fine until I added the additional "-M pc-0.14" command line
argument: Then I only get an empty floppy image.
I narrowed this down to the PC_COMPAT_1_0 definition in hw/pc_piix.c, which
added
.driver = "isa-fdc",\
.property = "check_media_rate",\
.value = "off",\
to the compat settings. If I also add an
-global isa-fdc.check_media_rate=on
to explicitly overwrite that setting, vvfat also works with pc-1.0 and
earlier.
I didn't unsterstand from reading the code what that flag is supposed to do,
so can somebody give me some help to understand what goes wrong here.
I think vvfat needs to be patched to also work with check_media_rate=off.
Sincerely
Philipp
