Public bug reported:
I was trying to set up a Focal KVM guest just now and cannot get the
20.04.1 release Live Server image to boot in KVM. I downloaded from
releases.ubuntu.com and verified that the SHA256 sums check out (they
do). ALso, just to be doubly sure, I downloaded the image a second time
and verified that one as well.
When I try booting the image as a CD/DVD on my KVM guest (using virt-
manager on my 18.04 desktop system), the guest fails to boot with the
error message:
Boot failed: could not read from CDROM (code 0009)
I tried changing the CDROM drive in KVM settings between IDE, SATA and
SCSI with no change.
I also tried, as mentioned above, booting the image after downloading it
a second time, just to be sure, and that failed.
I next downloaded the Focal legacy image from cdimages.ubuntu.com, that
one booted immediately and allowed me to proceed installing my KVM
guest.
I have KVM/Qemu version 1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu7.31 from Bionic Updates
installed as well as libvirt 4.0.0-1ubuntu8.17, also from Updates.
So, to summarize:
20.04.1 Live Server ISO - no boot in KVM
Focal Legacy Server ISO - Successful boot in KVM
Both images are the AMD64 ISOs.
