Hi Adam,
I've been traveling, sorry for the delay...
With the following config, I end up booting from the cdrom. If I take away the cdrom definition completely, I am unable to boot at all.
I can boot fine with your config, either from sda (<boot dev='hd' />) or cdrom (<boot dev='cdrom' />).
Have you verified your seabios supports booting from ahci as Bruce mentioned?
No, I have not been able to verify it. Seabios refuses to build on my system with the version of binutils I have installed. I am fairly certain that I am using too old of a version of seabios (as you suggested). I am happy to withdraw my problem report.
And I just now was able to verify it. With an updated seabios, everything seems to be working fine for me. I can boot from the disks without problems. -- Adam Litke <agl@us.ibm.com> IBM Linux Technology Center
