(bootindex was showing up as "1" in the log; not knowing anything about how it worked, I decided to try just changing it to "0". That didn't work. Switching back to the old method *did* work, though.)
This system is running qemu-kvm-0.14-7.fc14.x86_64. If you'd like a look at the domain XML, the qemu logs, or access to the machine, just let me know. Yeah, sending the domain XML and qemu command line to which it was transformed would be great.
Sure. I've attached the XML at the end. Here's the non-working commandline (split into multiple lines for readability):
OK, that looks like a correct translation of <boot dev='hd'/> into device bootindex so everything is fine on libvirt side.
The console screen says SeaBIOS is 0.6.0 and rpm -q says "seabios-bin-0.6.0-1.fc14.noarch".
IIRC this is too old to support bootindex. I think at least 0.6.1 is needed (or maybe even 0.6.2 unless some patches were backported). I wonder why qemu with bootindex support is shipped with seabios that lacks this support. I'm not sure what we should do about this. Jirka
