Cisco NX-OSv 9k crashes during boot with qemu 2.10.1(Debian 1:2.10.0+dfsg-2) and ovmf 0~20161202.7bbe0b3e-1
Ubuntu 17.04
qemu 2.10.1(Debian 1:2.10.0+dfsg-2)
gns3 2.0.3
NX-OSv 9k 7.0.3.I6.1
- No such issue with previous qemu 2.8.x
- the issue does not seem to come from the debian packaging
- the issue does not seem to come from GNS3 either, as confirmed by Jeremy Grossmann at https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-server/issues/1193#issuecomment-344240460
Either some parameters usage have changed (for instance -bios) (which would make qemu not backwards compatible) or there is an issue with qemu itself.
The configuration parameters are:
```

```
The logs are:
- [execution log](https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-server/files/1381651/qemu.log.txt)
- [terminal log](https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-server/files/1381660/terminal.log.txt)
With the latest qemu, I can boot:
- Cisco IOSv 15.6(2)T
- Cisco IOSv-L2 15.2(20170321:233949)
- Cisco CSR 1000v 16.5.1b
- Cisco ASAv 9.6(2)
The major difference with NX-OSv 9k is the bios parameter: ```-bios /usr/share/ovmf/OVMF.fd```:
```
ll /usr/share/ovmf/OVMF.fd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2097152 Dec 9 2016 /usr/share/ovmf/OVMF.fd
```
A normal boot log with qemu 2.8.1 is available [here](https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-server/files/1381729/terminal.log.2.8.txt)
Highlighting the differences: qemu 2.8.1 on the left, qemu 2.10.1 on the right hand side with the same boot parameters
