On a note here: Try to use the same version or similar version of qemu that the production workers have... 3.0 seems problematic

During the test at early stage, I can see that only CD-ROM device found.

But after Welcome to Open Firmware, it tries to load: from: /pci@80000020000000/scsi@5 ..
E2404: Not a bootable device!

...

E3407: Load failed

--

scsi@5 doesn't exist. To me it seems that hard disk (partition with GRUB) is not available at that time.

http://e13.suse.de/tests/8739 shows no issue with parent's generated qcow2. This is successful because of older qemu version. It still won't work if qemu version got updated to 3.0.
