Openstack Instance paused when booted from ipxe iso

[NiKiZe]

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
