Package: libvirt0 Version: 0.6.1-1 Severity: normal
Trying to create a guest either with virt-manager or with virt-install results in an error: libvirtError: internal error unable to start guest: No valid PXE rom found for network device But the usual PXE rom's of KVM are in place: u...@cdserver:~$ ls -l /usr/share/kvm/pxe-* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 32768 2008-12-24 12:43 /usr/share/kvm/pxe-e1000.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 32768 2008-12-24 12:43 /usr/share/kvm/pxe-ne2k_pci.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 32768 2008-12-24 12:43 /usr/share/kvm/pxe-pcnet.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 32768 2008-12-24 12:43 /usr/share/kvm/pxe-rtl8139.bin Powering up a guest directly with kvm -boot n works - PXE boot is ok. stracing libvirtd I found out that it is looking for vitio's PXE rom: u...@cdserver:~$ sudo strace -f -s 128 -p 1315 2>&1 | grep -i pxe [pid 3491] open("/usr/share/kvm/pxe-virtio.bin", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 3491] write(2, "No valid PXE rom found for network device\n"..., 42) = 42 [pid 1325] read(20, "No valid PXE rom found for network device\n"..., 1023) = 42 But so far it does not give me a chance to switch to some other nic model. The guest іs not yet created and does not appear in virsh list. Got the pxe-virtio.bin then from rom-o-matic.net. But so far I do not see that that one gets shipped with newer KVM deb's.
