And one thing, which can make me happy. When I am trying virtual machines, I often reinstall existing one. Then I need to boot from network and after installation again from disk. I can't test new gPXE until it will work with my F11 kernel, may be it's better with this, but with currently functional bootrom I can't boot from disk if network boot is enabled and vice versa. If my guest is set to boot from disk (after previous installation) and I need to reinstall it, I have to do these steps:
- click details panel (i) - click "Boot Options" - click on "Boot Device" menu - select "Network (PXE)" and confirm (click) - click "Apply" - click back to guest console - click start (play button)
That's not a virt-manager issue, it's a qemu issue I assume. It works for me though - if I have network boot selected that I can bring up the boot menu with F12 and select the hard disk instead? What I suspect you may be referring to is the fact that if you don't have network boot set as the default then the F12 boot menu doesn't include the network option - so you can't be set to boot from the hard disk by default and then choose to boot from network instead using the boot menu. I too find that rather annoying, but as I say it is (I believe) a qemu issue rather than a libvirt issue. Tom -- Tom Hughes (tom@compton.nu) http://www.compton.nu/
