Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: virt-manager
I've tried to install Debian Etch, FreeBSD, Arch Linux, ReactOS and
Windows Server 2003 using virt-manager and kvm in Hardy. All of them
seemed to install fine, but none of them was able to boot from the hard
disk after the mandatory reboot. Debian kept waiting for the root to
mount, ReactOS said "freeldr.sys not found" etc. etc. I used the default
configuration for everything.
It would seem that virt-manager or the middleware it uses mess up the
order of hard drives: I was able to boot Debian after replacing
root=/dev/hdb with root=dev/hda in GRUB. Maybe this has something to do
with the automatic changing of boot options after reboot (virt-manager
doesn't boot from the cd-rom after reboot)?
I'm not 100 % sure if this is a virt-manager problem, but at least I'm able to
install the operating systems fine using the command line:
kvm -hda foo.img -cdrom disk.iso -boot X (where X is c or d)
So it's not directly kvm-related either.
I have an AMD64 processor capable of full virtualization and the AMD64
version of Hardy.
