lucid-updates and lucid-proposed ship the same package and from the changelog I cannot see what change would be related to this big.
I've just confirmed by testing that the bug still applies to the most uptodate packages that are available for lucid. ** Changed in: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/551545 Title: PXE netboot not booting localboot from virtio-disk Status in QEMU: New Status in “qemu-kvm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “qemu-kvm” package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: Binary package hint: qemu-kvm lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch) Release: 10.04 apt-cache policy qemu-kvm qemu-kvm: Installiert: 0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu3 Kandidat: 0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu3 Versions-Tabelle: *** 0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://intranet/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Description of the problem: Starting a guest like this: vdekvm \ -m 256M \ -cpu host \ -smp 1 \ -name karmic \ -boot order=nc \ -drive file=/dev/vg01/test,if=virtio,boot=on,cache=none \ -net nic,vlan=0,macaddr=00:2f:8d:b6:cf:d0,model=virtio \ -net vde,vlan=0,sock=/var/run/vde2/vde0.ctl \ -watchdog i6300esb \ -vnc :0 \ -serial telnet:localhost:23,server,nowait \ -monitor tcp:127.0.0.1:12000,server,nowait \ -runas kvmguest On "telnet localhost" you can see that the following boot-menu appears: - Boot Menu - ============= local rescue It is loaded from this pxelinux.cfg/default file: SERIAL 0 9600n8 DISPLAY boot.txt TIMEOUT 120 DEFAULT local PROMPT 1 LABEL local localboot 0 LABEL rescue kernel lucid append initrd=lucid-initrd.gz rescue/enable=true -- quiet console=ttyS0,9600n8 After the timeout, the guest tries to boot, but fails and reloads the boot menu.
