kvm-79 adds another point in wich the network script is defined. To me this seems weird enough, but see this: kefk work # grep -r DEFAULT_NETWORK_SCRIPT . ./kvm-patches-20081106/02_all_qemu-kvm-cmdline.patch:-#define DEFAULT_NETWORK_SCRIPT "/etc/qemu-ifup" ./kvm-patches-20081106/02_all_qemu-kvm-cmdline.patch:+#define DEFAULT_NETWORK_SCRIPT "/etc/kvm/kvm-ifup" ./kvm-patches-20081106/02_all_qemu-kvm-cmdline.patch: DEFAULT_NETWORK_SCRIPT, ./kvm-79/qemu/vl.c:#define DEFAULT_NETWORK_SCRIPT "/etc/kvm/kvm-ifup" ./kvm-79/qemu/vl.c: DEFAULT_NETWORK_SCRIPT, ./kvm-79/qemu/net.c:#define DEFAULT_NETWORK_SCRIPT "/etc/qemu-ifup" ./kvm-79/qemu/net.c: pstrcpy(setup_script, sizeof(setup_script), DEFAULT_NETWORK_SCRIPT); while kvm-78 is a different story: kefk work # grep -r DEFAULT_NETWORK_SCRIPT . ./kvm-patches-20081106/02_all_qemu-kvm-cmdline.patch:-#define DEFAULT_NETWORK_SCRIPT "/etc/qemu-ifup" ./kvm-patches-20081106/02_all_qemu-kvm-cmdline.patch:+#define DEFAULT_NETWORK_SCRIPT "/etc/kvm/kvm-ifup" ./kvm-patches-20081106/02_all_qemu-kvm-cmdline.patch: DEFAULT_NETWORK_SCRIPT, ./kvm-78/qemu/vl.c:#define DEFAULT_NETWORK_SCRIPT "/etc/kvm/kvm-ifup" ./kvm-78/qemu/vl.c: pstrcpy(setup_script, sizeof(setup_script), DEFAULT_NETWORK_SCRIPT); ./kvm-78/qemu/vl.c: DEFAULT_NETWORK_SCRIPT, basically, a net.c appeared and messed up the patch and startup script. To me make sense that this define appears only once, but that's the situation. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge =kvm-79 Actual Results: the package gets installed, but look here: kefk kvm # kvm -m 1GM /opt/kvm/image.qcow2 -net nic,macaddr=DE:AD:BE:EF:15:5 -net tap - /etc/qemu-ifup: could not launch network script Could not initialize device 'tap' Expected Results: kvm startup
I've pushed a new 79 with a new patch tarball fixing this.
