Bug#389836: [Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#389836: xen-hypervisor-3.0-unstable-1-amd64: HVM domU won't start

[Bin Tian]

I found the right syntax of HVM cdrom/floppy configuration in xensource
list.
You can find it in the thread
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2006-08/msg00369.html

It should be written as following.

disk = [
'file:/small/xen-disks/debian/debian.img,hda,w','file:/small/xen-disks/
debian/swap.img,hdb,w','file:/home/sparrow/PlanetLab-BootCD-3.3.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'
,'file:/home/sparrow/boot,fda:floppy,r' ]

My HVM domU works again.

Thanks a lot! ;)

Best regards,
BinTian
