[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#985954: libvirt: [alpha guest] IDE controllers are unsupported for this QEMU binary or machine type

[Thorsten Glaser]

Package: libvirt0
Version: 7.0.0-3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: tg at mirbsd.de

libvirt pretends Alpha guests don’t use IDE:

Unable to complete install: 'unsupported configuration: IDE controllers are unsupported for this QEMU binary or machine type'

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 65, in cb_wrapper
    callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs)

    domain = self.conn.createXML(install_xml or final_xml, 0)

    raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateXML() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: unsupported configuration: IDE controllers are unsupported for this QEMU binary or machine type

Looking at the Qemu model, however, IDE is the default (and working
when using the command line), whereas SCSI causes trouble (sym0:
unexpected disconnect).
