qemu KVM: can't boot a qemu machine with liveCD (system rescue)
Hi, there is no special forum/mailinglist existing for qemu-KVM, right? My problem is: I can't boot a qemu machine with liveCD (system rescue) I inserted os type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-0.12'hvm/type boot dev='cdrom'/ boot dev='hd'/ bootmenu enable='yes'/ /os into xml-File but the appearing menu at boot time: Press F12 for boot menu. (I pressed F12) Select boot device: 1. Legacy option rom 2. Legacy option rom (indeed, same line two times) 3. CD-ROM [ata1-0: QEMU DVD-ROM ATAPI-4 CD-Rom/DVD-Rom] 4. virtio-net.zrom 5.4.4. (GPL) ether But 3. is NOT booting from CD! 1. and 2. not either. But grub is booting with 3. CD-ROM is ignored. Why? Using sr0 instead of cdrom results in: root@squeeze64:~# virsh start suse111 error: failed to get domain 'suse111' error: Domain not found: no domain with matching name 'suse111' BTW: I did /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin stop - start before, of course. Mount of /dev/sr0 or /dev/cdrom to /mnt works, the CD is present and is readable. How can I boot a qemu machine with liveCD (system rescue)? Why? - because of kernel panic Please help! Are there other possibilities to boot a qemu-KVM machine by a liveCD? thx Ekkard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Make sure you are root or in the ‘cdrom’ group. -- Alberto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
