Am I missing something simple, or can you only boot off virtual IDE drives?
I'm running kvm-69 (from the sid repos) on 64-bit Debian Lenny, using the kvm modules that are part of the kernel 2.6.25 package on Debian. I can create virtual SCSI drives, boot off a virtual CD-ROM, and install Debian onto the vSCSI drives. However, I cannot boot off the virtual SCSI drives following the install. The VM is being run as: /usr/bin/kvm -name webmail -daemonize -localtime -usb -usbdevice tablet -smp 1 -m 2048 -vnc :05 -pidfile /var/run/kvm/webmail.pid -net nic,macaddr=00:16:3e:00:00:05,model=rtl8139 -net tap,ifname=tap05 -boot c -drive index=1,media=disk,if=scsi,file=/dev/mapper/vol0-webmail--storage -drive index=0,media=disk,if=scsi,file=/dev/mapper/vol0-webmail And the error message on the virtual console is: Booting from Hard Disk... Boot from Hard Disk failed: could not read the boot disk FATAL: No bootable device The virtual SCSI drives are configured as: sda1 100 MB /boot (bootable flag set) sda2 5 GB / sda5 50 GB /usr sda6 50 GB /var sdb1 100 GB /home GRUB is installed into the MBR of the first SCSI drive (sda). I've tried reversing the two -drive options on the commandline, as well as reversing the index numbers on the commandline. "info block" in the QEmu monitor shows the drives as being attached, and in the correct order. What, if anything, am I missing? Or is this just not possible? -- Freddie Cash [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
