[Qemu-devel] [Bug 551545] Re: PXE netboot not booting localboot from virtio-disk

[Reinhard Tartler]

lucid-updates and lucid-proposed ship the same package and from the
changelog I cannot see what change would be related to this big.

I've just confirmed by testing that the bug still applies to the most
uptodate packages that are available for lucid.

  Description of the problem:

  Starting a guest like this:

  vdekvm \
    -m 256M \
    -cpu host \
    -smp 1 \
    -name karmic \
    -boot order=nc \
    -drive file=/dev/vg01/test,if=virtio,boot=on,cache=none \
    -net nic,vlan=0,macaddr=00:2f:8d:b6:cf:d0,model=virtio \
    -net vde,vlan=0,sock=/var/run/vde2/vde0.ctl \
    -watchdog i6300esb \
    -vnc :0 \
    -serial telnet:localhost:23,server,nowait \
    -monitor tcp:127.0.0.1:12000,server,nowait \
    -runas kvmguest

  On "telnet localhost" you can see that the following boot-menu
  appears:

  - Boot Menu -
  =============

  local
  rescue

  It is loaded from this pxelinux.cfg/default file:

  SERIAL 0 9600n8

  DISPLAY boot.txt

  TIMEOUT 120
  DEFAULT local
  PROMPT 1

  LABEL local
        localboot 0

  LABEL rescue
        kernel lucid
        append initrd=lucid-initrd.gz rescue/enable=true -- quiet 
console=ttyS0,9600n8

  
  After the timeout, the guest tries to boot, but fails and reloads the boot 
menu. This is an endless loop, until I break it or choose the rescue menu entry.

  I would expect that it boots from first virtio-disk
