I know this is of topic, but this is one of the few lists where you mostly get
a competent answer.
I have a small problem with libvirt / qemu. I have created a guest (also
gentoo) on a gentoo hosts and when I start it from the command-line the guests
starts OK, but when I start the guest through libvirt with virsh start I get
Booting from Hard Disk...
Boot failed: not a bootable disk
No bootable device
This is the command-line I use to start the guest (which works)
cd /var/lib/kvm/Wilmer; /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm \
-net nic,vlan=1,model=rtl8139,macaddr=DE:ED:BE:EF:01:03 -net
tap,vlan=1,ifname=qtap13,script=no,downscript=no \
-net nic,vlan=3,model=rtl8139,macaddr=DE:ED:BE:EF:03:03 -net
tap,vlan=3,ifname=qtap33,script=no,downscript=no \
-m 2048 -k de-ch -vnc :3 -daemonize \
Wilmer.qcow2
The libvirt XML-file was created using virsh domxml-from-native qemu-argv and
this is the result of that conversion:
domain type='kvm'

Anyone seeing something obvious that I have missed?
