Hi,
my qemu isapc tests on -next started to fail with next-20170103.
The relevant log is as follows.
VFS: Cannot open root device "hda" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
0100 4096 ram0 (driver?)
0101 4096 ram1 (driver?)
0102 4096 ram2 (driver?)
0103 4096 ram3 (driver?)
0104 4096 ram4 (driver?)
0105 4096 ram5 (driver?)
0106 4096 ram6 (driver?)
0107 4096 ram7 (driver?)
0108 4096 ram8 (driver?)
0109 4096 ram9 (driver?)
010a 4096 ram10 (driver?)
010b 4096 ram11 (driver?)
010c 4096 ram12 (driver?)
010d 4096 ram13 (driver?)
010e 4096 ram14 (driver?)
010f 4096 ram15 (driver?)
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
Bisect points to commit b2ae75052a8c ("ide: Fix interface autodetection
in legacy IDE driver (trial #2)". Reverting that patch fixes the problem.
Bisect log is attached. A complete log is available at:
http://kerneltests.org/builders/qemu-x86-next/builds/557/steps/qemubuildcommand/logs/stdio
One does wonder if that patch fixes a problem, and qemu is wrong, or if it in
fact introduces a problem. It does appear a little odd, though, that such a
significant bug would remain undetected for 8+ years.
