[Bug 1563887] [NEW] qemu-system-ppc64 freezes on starting image on ppc64le

Wed Mar 30 19:55:24 UTC 2016

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Jon Grimm (jgrimm):

qemu-system-ppc64 running on Ubuntu 16.04 beta-2 fails to start an image
as part of the certification process. This on an IBM ppc64le in PowerVM
mode running Ubuntu 16.04 beta-2 deployed by MAAS 1.9.1. There is no
error output.

ubuntu at alpine01:~/kvm$ qemu-system-ppc64 -m 256 -display none -nographic -net nic -net user,net=10.0.0.0/8,host=10.0.0.1,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 -machine pseries -drive file=xenial-server-cloudimg-ppc64el-disk1.img,if=virtio -drive file=seed.iso,if=virtio
WARNING: Image format was not specified for 'seed.iso' and probing guessed raw.
         Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write operations on block 0 will be restricted.
         Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.
