Hi. Having some (dracut-related) issues with a Fedora LiveCD installed on a pendrive, I wanted to play with it using qemu instead of a real computer. Unfortunately, while the pendrive boot fine in real, with qemu, I ended up with "Booting from Hard Drive..." displayed and 2 vCores working on 100% for several minutes (until I interrupted it). Most likely, it is a problem with the way I try to achieve that:
> sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 4196 -drive > file=/dev/sdb,format=raw,index=0,media=disk -boot menu=on or more "dangerous" variant: > sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 4196 -hda /dev/sdb -boot menu=on What could be wrong with that approach? What is the best way to boot a VM using a bootable disk connected as a USB device (here recognized as /dev/sdb)? Marcin
