Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
I'm trying to boot a grub multiboot image with kvm -kernel and it is not
functioning.
'-kernel' should be capable of booting a multiboot image, and I'm
passing it one. I created the image by running the following inside a
ubuntu 10.04 guest.
$ echo "set prefix=(hd0)/boot/grub" > mycfg.cfg
$ grub-mkimage --output=grub-loader.img --config=mycfg.cfg \
--prefix=/boot/grub biosdisk ext2 part_msdos
Then, I tried booting a disk image passing that loader to '-kernel'. kvm hangs
showing only:
Starting SeaBIOS (version 0.5.1-20100120_010601-rothera)
I've built git from commit bc3a9ccc5ddea4c0c713ef6fb3c11d9a88cec169 at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git , and it is
functioning correctly.
