Openstack Instance paused when booted from ipxe iso - k_mouza - 2017-04-11 16:32

Hello all,

I have the following problem when trying to boot an Openstack instance using the ipxe.iso. I downloaded the latest ipxe source from git and recompiled it. I use the ipxe.iso to create a new glance image within Openstack, but when I try to create a VM with it, its Power State changes to "Paused" almost immediately. From the console I see that it's stuck after "Loading ipxe.krn...ready".

This is what I have in the libvirt/qemu log file:

Code:

Anyone seen this before? Any help will be much appreciated!

I have a box which last synced almost 2 years ago which has app-emulation/qemu-2.0.0-r1 installed... How old is qemu-kvm 1.5.3-126 ?

You might want to minimize that commandline so it is easier (for others) to reproduce.

Also if you know of a working iPXE commit use git bisect to identify when and how the issue was introduced.

There have been some updates to virtio a while back which might have regressions for really old versions of qemu-kvm (this is just a guess).

Development and testing is mostly done with Qemu so the basic stuff is known working for more recent versions
