Since qemu 2.12.0 rc2 - qemu-2.12.0-0.6.rc2.fc29 - landed in Fedora Rawhide, just about all of our openQA-automated tests of Rawhide guests which run with qxl / SPICE graphics in the guest have died partway in, always shortly after the test switches from the installer (an X environment) to a console on a tty. qemu is, I think, hanging. There are always some errors like this right around the time of the hang:

The same tests running on Fedora 28 guests on the same hosts are not hanging, and the same tests were not hanging right before the qemu package got updated, so this seems very strongly tied to the new qemu.
These error messages ("memslot_ get_virt" ) do not come from QEMU, but from spice, so please report this problem to the Spice project first (see https:/ /www.spice- space.org/ support. html for how to file a bug there).
