This exactly matches my situation. Installing the "ipxe-qemu" package, but otherwise going back to qemu-system-xen 1:10.0.3+ds-0+deb13u1 made the domain boot successfully. The title of #1120146 is likely best left unchanged to allow others to find the issue and solution, but does in fact appear to be a missing dependency. Now back to #1050030 being the main problem. -- (\___(\___(\______ --=> 8-) EHM <=-- ______/)___/)___/) \BS ( | [email protected] PGP 87145445 | ) / \_CS\ | _____ -O #include <stddisclaimer.h> O- _____ | / _/ 8A19\___\_|_/58D2 7E3D DDF4 7BA6 <-PGP-> 41D1 B375 37D0 8714\_|_/___/5445
