Unraid 6.1 KVM IDE controller

[beire]

I updated my system to 6.1 and have an other one still running 6.0.1

I have a VM on my 6.1 system that i created on 6.0.1. I swear it was running fine before, but now it spawns the following error:

 

"Unsupported configuration: IDE controllers are unsupported for this QEMU binary or machine type"

 

To be sure, i copied the XML from a currently running VM on my 6.0.1 machine and just changed the drive locations.

It just gives the same error.

 

Edit: Seems when selecting i440fx machine type it works again, but why did it work before on Q35?

 

This was my q35 xml:

Has something changed in QEMU on unraid 6.1.

It's a VM who needs ide drives, not virtio.

In short, there is a bug that will be addressed in 6.1.1.  If I remember, I'll post instructions on how to manually edit your XML later to solve.

[beire]

Allright. Good to know this is bug related

 

There's no rush. The system running 6.1 is not the one actually needing the ide controller.

I use it to create the vm's.

Then move them to the other systems.

 

Thx for replying Jon!
