However VM could not boot and just hang as below after that. I have been checking on "s390: vfio-ccw dasd ipl support" series right now but no clue yet. Could anyone take a look for it? Thanks. s390vsw188:~ # bash test.sh LOADPARM=[ ] executing ccw chain at : 0x0000000000000018 executing ccw chain at : 0x000000000000e000 2020-03-01T06:24:56.879314Z qemu-system-s390x: warning: vfio-ccw (devno fe.0.0000): PFCH flag forced s390zp12:~ # cat test.sh /root/qemu/s390x-softmmu/qemu-system-s390x \ -machine s390-ccw-virtio,accel=kvm \ -nographic \ -bios /root/qemu/pc-bios/s390-ccw/s390-ccw.img \ -device vfio-ccw,id=hostdev0,sysfsdev=/sys/bus/mdev/devices/08e8c006-146d-48d3-b21a-c005f9d3a04b,,devno=fe.0.0000,bootindex=1 \ -global vfio-ccw.force-orb-pfch=yes \ s390zp12:~ # cat test.sh /root/qemu/s390x-softmmu/qemu-system-s390x \ -machine s390-ccw-virtio,accel=kvm \ -nographic \ -bios /root/qemu/pc-bios/s390-ccw/s390-ccw.img \ -device vfio-ccw,id=hostdev0,sysfsdev=/sys/bus/mdev/devices/08e8c006-146d-48d3-b21a-c005f9d3a04b,devno=fe.0.1234,bootindex=1 \ -global vfio-ccw.force-orb-pfch=yes Can you still reproduce this issue with the latest version of QEMU? Which kind of guest did you install? [Expired for QEMU because there has been no activity for 60 days.]
