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

Fixed in rc3

  • QEMU currently can't be compiled with "--disable-replication"
  • QEMU crashes at startup on older AMD systems with: error: failed to set MSR 0x10a to 0x0

Not yet fixed in any rc

  • 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 proprietary data types like uint64 instead of POSIX uint64_t)
  • Source QEMU crashes during migration when format and protocol block nodes were created separately (typical -blockdev setup). Fix is on the list: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2018-11/msg00759.html
  • SMMUv3 ACPI integration ([PATCH for-3.1] hw/arm/virt-acpi-build: Fix SMMUv3 ACPI integration)
