Hello all,

is there some simple way to disable pci hotplug support in qemu-kvm (via some command-line options or alike)?

Problem is, my guest windows xp is thinking that it could attempt to remove Intel 82371SB, Cirrus Logic 5446, and other pci devices, and enumerates them all under "Safe remove" which is somewhat annoying and maybe risky. I'm using qemu-kvm 0.12.3 as per opensuse 11.3.

I've searched for a whole day and only found this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=579737
Ok, I've built bios-nohotplug.bin (using kvm-Build-an-additional-bios-without-hotplug-support.patch from redhat's .srpm, then replacing standard bios.bin) but it didn't seem to make any difference.

Any hints?

Thanks,
Nikolai
