[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#553171: cannot boot debian netinst on guest

[Harald Dunkel]

It says

LC_ALL=C \
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin \
HOME=/root USER=root LOGNAME=root \
/usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc -m 1024 -smp 1 -name Test \
-monitor unix:/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/Test.monitor,server,nowait \
-no-reboot -boot d \
-drive file=/export/storage/Test/hda.qcow2,if=virtio,index=0 \
-drive file=/export/isos/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso,if=virtio,media=cdrom,index=1 \
-net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:6a:20:1e,vlan=0,model=virtio \
-net tap,fd=17,vlan=0 -serial pty -parallel none \
-usb -usbdevice tablet -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 -k en-us
char device redirected to /dev/pts/3

I tested it on the command line. If I omit the "if=virtio" for
the iso file, then it boots. It also boots for -cdrom /filename.iso.

Kernel on the host is the one included in Testing:
2.6.30-2-amd64.


Hope this helps. Please mail.
