When starting a guest in app-emulation/qemu-2.4.0-r1 the application console freezes with the "Guest has not initialized the display (yet)." message. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Test a amd64 KVM using an iso and confirm it works with <app-emulation/qemu-2.4.0. 2. Update to app-emulation/qemu-2.4.0-r1. 3. Test the same amd64 KVM with the new qemu. Actual Results: Using app-emulation/qemu-2.4.0-r1 the qemu console window shows the "Guest has not initialized the display (yet)." message, both when using sdl or sdl2, or with -vga std, or -vga qxl, both with sys-firmware/seabios-1.7.5-r1 or sys-firmware/seabios-1.8.2.

I also found this problem reported on proxmox forum: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/23636-Proxmox-4-No-display-with-kvm-virtual-machine a few days ago.
I've run into this problem as well ("Guest has not initialized the display (yet)."). After numerous tests, I've found this behaviour is peculiar to the qemu 2.4.0-r1 running on any 4.2.x kernel. Qemu 2.4.0-r1 on kernel 4.1.6 works for on my rig. emerge --info Portage 2.2.22 (python 2.7.10-final-0, default/linux/amd64/13.0/no-multilib, gcc-4.9.3, glibc-2.21-r1, 4.2.1-gentoo x86_64)

I decided to add some more info on these tests I've done with qemu and the kernels. 1.) All kernel versions I tested were gentoo-sources 2.) seabios is not the culprit: a temporary forced-install of seabios-1.8.2 with qemu-2.3.1 running on a gentoo-sources 4.2.x kernel works. 3.) I have just a single video card (nvidia geforce 445m). 4.) So far all attempts to boot my VM with qemu-2.4.0-r1 on a 4.2.x kernel fail with the aforementioned "Guest has not initialized the display (yet)." message. A subsequent reboot of the VM from a 4.1.6 kernel shows no evidence (in the VM logs) of the previous failed VM boot attempt from the 4.2.x kernel--The VM is never starting when booted from the 4.2.x kernel but I don't have the debugging chops to determine why.
is the iso public ? can you post links to it and the exact commands you're using to boot it ?
(In reply to SpanKY from comment #4) > is the iso public ? can you post links to it and the exact commands you're > using to boot it ? you don't need any drive, just use "qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm" (no other options required). <qemu-2.4 will display the BIOS and iPXE (if configured) whereas >=2.4 will display a black screen. if you use VNC or SPICE or open and close the monitor then the message will be displayed.
Just to add to Alex Hu's point. If I run "qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm" (using qemu executable from qemu 2.4.x) when the host is running a 4.1.x kernel or less I can boot into the iPXE command. If I run that same command when the host is running a 4.2.x kernel, I get the message "Guest has not initialized the display (yet)."
i haven't upgraded to linux-4.2 because it fails to boot on my system
i spent time bisecting the kernel back and it was kvm changes that were breaking it :). those changes have been reverted upstream and should be in linux-4.2.4. so when that is released, i'd give that a spin to see if it helps with your problem too.
patch landed upstream in cfed1e3de4764fb5b6a02c93ec246424b3bffd21 (4.3-rc5+). maybe we should backport this to 4.2?
(In reply to Alex Xu (Hello71) from comment #9) cfed1e3de4764fb5b6a02c93ec246424b3bffd21 is a merge commit. i can't really see us backporting non-critical (really just security) changes, but that's for the kernel team. are you saying that after upgrading your system to the latest mainline, this bug no longer exists ?

considering all the changes are in the upstream kernel, i'm not sure there's anything for us to do. upstream already said they queued the patches for 4.2.4.
FYI: vanilla kernel 4.2.4 still does not solve that. Tested on arm64 with qemu-2.4.0-r1. Downgrade to qemu-2.3.0-r5 works.
For me the release of the gentoo-sources 4.3 kernel has solved this problem. My VM starts and id I simply run "qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm", I can enter the iPXE pre-boot command environment

Kater from comment #15) > (In reply to Mike louth from comment #14) > > For me the release of the gentoo-sources 4.3 kernel has solved this problem. > > > > My VM starts and id I simply run "qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm", I can > > enter the iPXE pre-boot command environment > > Good to know (just tested: 4.2.5 that does NOT fix it here). Yes, kernel 4.3 fixes it here, too. Qemu 2.4.0 works with it now.
FYI: While qemu-2.4.0 works again with kernel 4.3 as stated above, I noticed a memory leak with roughly 1 MB each 5 seconds. (This may or or may not be related to this topic.) So, kernel 4.3 is no option yet here.
I can confirm it works with kernel 4.3.0 and qemu 2.4.1. If there are other problems (like memory leaks, etc.), another bug report should be opened. This doesn't mean the combination of software versions in the bug report title works now, so I will close this bug as obsolete. Thank you!
