Smart! I did that and found out that it is the boot=on drive option that is the cause of the problem:
-drive file=/root/SLES-10.3.img,if=ide,index=0,boot=on
For some reason it only works when it is set to boot=off. I tried <boot>off</boot> and boot="off" in the target tag in the corresponding disk tag in the XML file, but with no luck. I also tried to remove the <boot dev='hd'/> from the os tag. I did do a "/etc/init.d/libvirt-bin reload" just in case. Is there any way to get control the boot option from the XML file?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=589465 is a related (the same?) issue about being able to start VDSM domains in a paused state. I'm not sure if it is just a matter of adding a new flag to virDomainCreateXML, inventing a new API, or adding a new XML entity that would be honored by existing virDomainCreate. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
