Outdated floppy device #3429
Comments
@pevogam, good point. Actually I never test floppy devices, but if it was introduced very early, I think we can re-design this part directly. Replace it to use |
I guess what is a bit more elaborate is to keep backward compatibility with older Qemu versions too, not sure what is the current Qemu version that most Avocado VT members are using. |
It seems to be easy to support both together with the capabilities utility. Let me take the command line expression of virtual block devices as an example, legacy qemu would use avocado-vt/virttest/qemu_devices/qcontainer.py Lines 278 to 283 in 8d98e23
avocado-vt/virttest/qemu_devices/qcontainer.py Lines 2076 to 2144 in 8d98e23

Closing via #3719. |
It seems that some of the newest Qemu versions (here tested 6.1.0) have problem installing Windows machines or in general running unattended install tests with floppy drives:
Background might be the following deprecation:

Looking at the Avocado VT source code, I can find these floppy bus classes (
QFloppyBus
and and even olderQOldFloppyBus
):So it might be that I am missing something but can we use the new
-device floppy,unit=1,drive=...
in some way instead of the old-global isa-fdc.driveA=...
?@PaulYuuu @chunfuwen @luckyh What do you think?
