My guess would be that libvirt is using the -drive syntax with if=ide and boot=on. Those 2 options together are known to be broken in certain versions of qemu/kvm. You can find out by checking in the libvirt logs to see what kvm command it's running to start the guest. > > > > > > The libvirt XML-file was created using "virsh domxml-from-native > > > qemu-argv" and this is the result of that conversion: <domain > > > type='kvm'> > > > > > > <name>wilmer</name> > > > <uuid>a421968d-0573-1356-8cb7-32caff525a03</uuid> > > > <memory>2097152</memory> > > > <currentMemory>2097152</currentMemory> > > > <vcpu>2</vcpu> > > > <os> > > > > > > <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-0.12'>hvm</type> > > > <boot dev='hd'/> > > > > > > </os> > > > <features> > > > > > > <acpi/> > > > > > > </features> > > > <clock offset='utc'/> > > > <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> > > > <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> > > > <on_crash>destroy</on_crash> > > > <devices> > > > > > > <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator> > > > <disk type='file' device='disk'> > > > > > > <source file='/var/lib/kvm/Wilmer/Wilmer.qcow2'/> > > > <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> > > > <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/> > > > > > > </disk> > > > <controller type='ide' index='0'> > > > > > > <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' > > > function='0x1'/> > > > > > > </controller> > > > <interface type='ethernet'> > > > > > > <mac address='de:ed:be:ef:01:03'/> > > > <script path='no'/> > > > <target dev='qtap13'/> > > > <model type='rtl8139'/> > > > <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' > > > function='0x0'/> > > > > > > </interface> > > > <interface type='ethernet'> > > > > > > <mac address='de:ed:be:ef:03:03'/> > > > <script path='no'/> > > > <target dev='qtap33'/> > > > <model type='rtl8139'/> > > > <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' > > > function='0x0'/> > > > > > > </interface> > > > <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> > > > <graphics type='vnc' port='5903' autoport='no' listen=''/> > > > <video> > > > > > > <model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/> > > > <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' > > > function='0x0'/> > > > > > > </video> > > > > > > </devices> > > > > > > </domain> > > > > > > > > > Anyone seeing something obvious that I have missed? > > > > > > Regards, > > > > > > -- > > > Dan Johansson, <http://www.dmj.nu> > > > *************************************************** > > > This message is printed on 100% recycled electrons! > > > *************************************************** > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > > libvirt-users mailing list > > > libvirt-us...@redhat.com > > > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
