[libvirt] Libvir on Hardy: file a bug or not?
Hi,
I am using Ubuntu Hardy up to date.
When defining a domain with:
<domain type='kvm' id='1'>
<name>xp</name>
<uuid>dd4618e5-1c48-a481-0671-d75f38f59037</uuid>
<memory>524288</memory>
<currentMemory>524288</currentMemory>
<vcpu>1</vcpu>
<os>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='pc'>hvm</type>
<boot dev='hd'/>
</os>
<clock offset='localtime'/>
<on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff>
<on_reboot>destroy</on_reboot>
<on_crash>destroy</on_crash>
<devices>
<emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator>
<disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
<source file='/home/mihamina/xpjohnny.iso'/>
<target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/>
<readonly/>
</disk>
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<source file='/home/mihamina/xp.img'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
</disk>
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='00:16:3e:1e:b2:22'/>
<source bridge='br0'/>
<target dev='vnet1'/>
</interface>
<input type='tablet' bus='usb'/>
<input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/>
<graphics type='vnc' port='5900' listen='127.0.0.1'/>
</devices>
</domain>
I get:
virsh # start xp
libvir: QEMU error : QEMU quit during console startup
qemu: unknowm parameter 'boot' in
'file=/home/mihamina/xp.img,if=ide,boot=on'
error: Failed to start domain xp
If I change the domain type with "qemu", I have no error (and the
virtual machine starts without any problem.
This is my installed things:
$ dpkg -l | awk '/(virt|qemu|kvm)/{print $2,$3}'
kvm 1:62+dfsg-0ubuntu8
libvirt-bin 0.4.0-2ubuntu8
libvirt0 0.4.0-2ubuntu8
python-libvirt 0.4.0-2ubuntu8
python-virtinst 0.300.2-0ubuntu6
python-virtkey 0.50ubuntu0.1
qemu 0.9.1-1ubuntu1
virt-manager 0.5.3-0ubuntu10
virt-viewer 0.0.2-1ubuntu1
Is it an upstream bug or a distribution bug?
Who is supposed to be noticed? The packager or the upstream (where please)?
