I originally sent this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] because http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/Bugs told me so, but then I noticed on the lists page this email address is used, so I am sending it here again.
(I am not subscribed) CPU: AMD Phenom X4 KVM version: kvm_62+dfsg-0ubuntu7 Host kernel version: 2.6.24-19-generic x86_64 Guest OS: Windows XP I have a set of vmware disk images and a VM using them and am trying to get it run with KVM. I converted the disk images to "single growable virtual disk" (vmware-vdiskmanager type 0), then run this command (command generated by libvirt): /usr/bin/kvm -M pc -m 512 -smp 1 -monitor pty -no-acpi -drive file=/home/khc/Documents/vmware/vm-1.vmdk,if=scsi,boot=on -drive file=/home/khc/Documents/vmware/vm-4.vmdk,if=ide -drive file=/home/khc/Documents/vmware/vm-3.vmdk,if=ide -drive file=/home/khc/Documents/vmware/vm-2.vmdk,if=ide -net nic,macaddr=00:0c:29:8f:83:57,vlan=0 -net tap,fd=12,script=,vlan=0 -usb -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 vm-1.vmdk is the first scsi disk which houses the C:\ on windows XP. The rest are IDE disks. The boot screen shows "could not read the boot disk" and "no bootable device". The same thing happens with -no-kvm-irqchip and my version of kvm does not have -no-kvm-pit. I also tried to use if=ide for vm-1.vmdk, but that also fails with the same messages. I double checked that the converted images are good by booting the VM using the converted images, and that works. I also tried to convert the vmdks to qemu-img raw images, but that didn't change anything either. Is there anyway to find out more about why it can't find the boot device?
