Known issues
Please list all patch series or bugs which need to be fixed for the release here. That way I can be sure I don't miss any when I'm rolling release candidates.
Fixed in rc1
- QEMU aborts with:
aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt -device ramfb
Fixed in rc2
- QEMU crashes with:
qemu-system-aarch64 -M n800(without any additional parameters) - this used to work better with v3.0 - We are missing the -3.1 versioned machine types for the PC machines. Patch on the list: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-11/msg03904.html
Fixed in rc3
- QEMU currently can't be compiled with "--disable-replication"
Not yet fixed in any rc
- QEMU crashes at startup on older AMD systems with: error: failed to set MSR 0x10a to 0x0
- QEMU does not work on the OSX "Mojave" release
- QEMU crashes with virtio-scsi on IO error (lp 1804323)
- Buggy format strings in disas/nanomips.cpp (also still uses non POSIX integer data types)
