The above -cdrom and -hda becomes: -drive file=virtuals/fai/fai_root.img,id=d0,if=none -device ide-drive,drive=d0 -drive file=cdroms/grml96-full_2014.03.iso,id=c0,media=cdrom,if=none -device ide-cd,drive=c0 It is just the legacy shortcuts -hda and -cdrom doesn't work. Just like the expansion of these options (as documented in the manpage). This is an upstream issue. And I'm not sure upstream is very interested in fixing it. Retitling and lowering severity accordingly. Thanks, /mjt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
