I can confirm the lsi controller don't work

vm hang (console don't work) when lsi controller is used:

scsi-hd:
-drive file=/var/lib/vz/images/115/vm-115-disk-1.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-scsi0,aio=native -device scsi-hd,bus=scsihw0.0,scsi-id=0,drive=drive-scsi0,id=scsi0,bootindex=101
scsi-block:
-drive file=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600144f0a265870000005005cb620001,if=none,id=drive-scsi0,aio=native,cache=none -device scsi-block,bus=scsihw0.0,scsi-id=0,drive=drive-scsi0,id=scsi0,bootindex=100


virtio-iscsi controller works fine

Which version of qemu got pulled for this release? I was really hoping for the new block-commit monitor command ( http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/1.3#Block_devices ) that was supposed to be in the 1.3.0 rc series. I note that the command "kvm -version" reports 1.2.91. Am I missing something or is this not 1.3?

Otherwise this new release seems work as expected though I haven't put it to much use yet...

It is a seabios problem. The plan is to update the bios for 1.3 final - that will fix the issue.

it's qemu 1.3 RC-1, so not the final stable release. (that why you see 1.2.91)
