[Bug 1899082] Re: ReplayKernel.test_x86_64_pc fails intermittently

[Thomas Huth]

The QEMU project is currently moving its bug tracking to another system.
For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be
closed already. Thus we are setting the bug state to "Incomplete" now.

If the bug has already been fixed in the latest upstream version of QEMU,
then please close this ticket as "Fix released".

If it is not fixed yet and you think that this bug report here is still
valid, then you have two options:

1) If you already have an account on gitlab.com, please open a new ticket
for this problem in our new tracker here:

    https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues

and then close this ticket here on Launchpad (or let it expire auto-
matically after 60 days). Please mention the URL of this bug ticket on
Launchpad in the new ticket on GitLab.

2) If you don't have an account on gitlab.com and don't intend to get
one, but still would like to keep this ticket opened, then please switch
the state back to "New" or "Confirmed" within the next 60 days (other-
wise it will get closed as "Expired"). We will then eventually migrate
the ticket automatically to the new system (but you won't be the reporter
of the bug in the new system and thus you won't get notified on changes
anymore).

Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

Title:
  ReplayKernel.test_x86_64_pc fails intermittently

Status in QEMU:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Even though this acceptance test is already skipped on GitLab CI, the
  intermittent failures can be seen on other environments too.

  The record phase works fine, but during the replay phase fail to
  finish booting the kernel (until the expected place):

  On my workstation, I can replicate the failure roughly once every 50
  runs.
