The user provided a detailed issue where an OpenSolaris guest isn't seeing Solaris partitions on a physical disk when using QEMU-KVM. They mentioned that it works fine in VirtualBox but not in QEMU. + +First, I need to understand the problem thoroughly. The guest OS isn't detecting the Solaris partitions, which are crucial for booting. Without these partitions, the root filesystem isn't found, making the VM unbootable. This suggests an issue with how QEMU is handling disk partition tables, specifically Solaris ones. + +Looking at the categories provided: mistranslation, assembly lowering, and others like device, network, etc. The problem seems related to how QEMU presents the disk to the guest OS. It's about whether the partitions are correctly recognized and passed through. + +I know that QEMU handles different disk formats and partition tables, including Solaris ones. If the guest isn't seeing these partitions, it might be an issue with how the partition table is being parsed or translated into a format that the guest can recognize. This sounds like a problem in the block layer or the way disks are emulated. + +In QEMU, when you attach a physical disk, it's passed through using something like the 'phy' device type. The partitions should be presented correctly to the guest. If the Solaris partitions (type 'bf') aren't showing up, perhaps there's an issue in how QEMU translates these partition types or reads the partition table. + +I recall that Solaris uses a different partitioning scheme compared to Linux, using a non-standard partition type. Maybe QEMU isn't properly handling this when translating the disk for the guest. This could fall under 'device' because it's related to how disks and partitions are handled in the device emulation layer. + +Alternatively, if it's about how the block I/O is translated into the guest's perspective, it might be a storage or device issue. Another angle is whether QEMU correctly reads the partition table from the physical disk and presents it accurately to the virtual IDE/SATA controller. If other hypervisors like VirtualBox handle this correctly but QEMU doesn't, it points more towards a QEMU-specific bug in its handling of certain partition types. + +The user mentioned that the problem occurs with QEMU-KVM but works in VirtualBox. This suggests a difference in how each hypervisor handles Solaris partitions. Since QEMU is an emulator and hypervisor itself (KVM), this issue would be within QEMU's code, specifically in its block device or storage emulation part. + +Considering all this, the most fitting category seems to be 'device' because it relates to how physical disks are presented as virtual devices to the guest OS. The partition table handling is a crucial part of that process. +</think> + +The bug report describes an issue where OpenSolaris partitions on a physical disk are not recognized by the guest in QEMU-KVM, but they are visible in VirtualBox. This suggests that QEMU isn't correctly presenting the Solaris partition information to the guest OS, leading to unbootability. + +Analyzing this, it appears that the problem lies in how QEMU handles disk partitions and presents them to the virtual machine. The key issue is the correct translation of the physical disk's partition table into a format that the guest can interpret. Since Solaris uses a specific partition type (marked as 'bf' in fdisk), there might be an incompatibility or bug in how QEMU processes such partitions. + +Looking at the provided categories: + +1. **Mistranslation**: This refers to incorrect semantic mapping from source architecture to IR/target, typically happening in user-mode assembly lowering. While this category involves translation issues, it is more focused on instruction-level conversions rather than disk partition handling. + +2. **Assembly Lowering**: This pertains to the process of converting high-level instructions into machine code during compilation. It doesn't directly relate to how QEMU handles disk partitions or presents them to the guest OS. + +3. **Device**: This category encompasses issues related to hardware emulation, including storage devices and their interaction with the guest OS. Since the problem revolves around the correct presentation of a physical disk's partitions to the virtual machine, this seems like the most fitting category. + +4. **Other Categories (graphic, socket, network, KVM, boot, vnc, debug, files, permissions, performance, kernel, peripherals, hypervisor)**: While some might argue that 'hypervisor' or 'kernel' could be relevant, these are more focused on specific aspects of virtualization rather than the device-level interaction required for disk partition presentation. + +Given the analysis, **device** is the most appropriate category because it directly relates to how QEMU presents physical disks and their partitions to the guest OS. The issue is about the proper translation and emulation of hardware (the disk) so that the guest can recognize and interact with its partitions correctly. +</think> + +The bug report involves an OpenSolaris guest not recognizing Solaris partitions on a physical disk when using QEMU-KVM, but it works in VirtualBox.
