Hi, all.
Can someone tell me how to get boot=on parameter to appear on my kvm
cmdline?
What version of KVM have you got ? There was one recent release which
broke the 'boot=on' parameter.
I define domain with the following xml
<domain type="kvm">
<name>kvm-1</name>
<memory>524288</memory>
<vcpu>1</vcpu>
<os>
<type arch="x86_64" machine="pc">hvm</type>
<boot dev="hd"/>
</os>
<devices>
<emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator>
<graphics type="vnc" port="-1"/>
<disk device="disk" type="file">
<source file="test.img"/>
<target dev="sda"/>
</disk>
<interface type="bridge">
<source bridge="breth0"/>
</interface>
</devices>
</domain>
and get
/usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc -m 512 -smp 1 -name kvm-1 -uuid
b462e575-4044-146c-193a-9a70523b4258 -monitor pty -no-acpi -boot c -drive
file=test.img,if=scsi,index=0 -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:09:9b:19,vlan=0 -net
tap,fd=15,vlan=0 -serial none -parallel none -usb
But I want to get
-drive file=test.img,if=scsi,index=0,boot=on
instead.
Your XML looks fine - the <boot dev='hd'/> tag should have resulted
in the boot=on parameter being used on the first disk. Thus I suspect
you have the broken KVM release.
