Package: qemu-kvm
Version: 0.12.5+dfsg-4
Severity: important
Hi,
I ran into a bug not allowing me to boot an VM if it uses virtio as HDD-type.
This is also described at [1] and [2]:
> When trying to boot from virtio disk, only an message:
> Boot failed: could not read the boot disk
> FATAL: No bootable device.
> is displayed.
>
> How reproducible:
> always
I used virt-manager, created a new VM, using debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso
from 2010-11-01, choose Linux/Debian-Squeeze as OS, defaults for everyting else.
> Steps to Reproduce:
> 1. boot any machine with virtio drive as first HDD (or only one HDD)
>
> Actual results:
> Boot failed: could not read the boot disk
> FATAL: No bootable device.
>
> Expected results:
> booting my system
>
> Additional info:
> After change to model='ide' boot works again.
[...]
Then i had a look at the patch [3] and as far as i can see
it is not even added to debian-experimental (0.13.0+dfsg-1).
I hope i didnt overlook something, as this is my first bugreport here ;)
Regards,
Oluf
