After reading the posted email thread, I've come to the conclusion that the -boot argument is missdocumented/missleading. In actuality it's "c" parameter is more like the "boot from first or selected hard disk" and "d" would be "boot from first or selected cdrom".
I think it would be best to remove this parameter, perhaps replacing it with a parameter to force a particular behavior(like the option to what format a block device is in). The boot sequence should attempt a cdrom boot, since this would fail quickly I'd imagine if the image was not an iso. Then booting the device like a hard disk or crash trying. -- qemu -drive boot=on flag causes boot to hang. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/591423 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
