KVM supports an alternate syntax for indicating a boot device when the -drive parameter is available. Instead of -boot c, it allow 'boot=on' to be set for the -drive parameter. Unfortauntely it turns that this doesn't work with certain CDROM images, in particular Fedora 9

Discussion with upstream indicates we're lucky it ever worked at all for CDROM media. So this patch removes use of the boot=on flag for CDROM devices.
NB, even when we added boot=on, we always still added -boot d param too, so merely removing the boot=on flag is sufficient to make it work again.
Oh, that's the reason of the bug :-) +1 Daniel -- Red Hat Virtualization group http://redhat.com/virtualization/ Daniel Veillard | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/ veillard@redhat.com | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/
