Hi all, Maybe this is a known issue, but I had pxe boot working with libvirt 0.7.1 This config: <domain type='kvm'> <name>pxetest</name> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <memory>196608</memory> <os> <type>hvm</type> <boot dev="network" /> </os> <devices> <console type='pty' /> <interface type='bridge'> <source bridge='br1' /> </interface> </devices> </domain> Creates the following output with libvirt 0.7.7: [root@localhost data]# virsh create --console pxetest.xml error: Failed to create domain from pxetest.xml error: internal error Process exited while reading console log output: char device redirected to /dev/pts/0 Cannot boot from non-existent NIC Here's the log: LC_ALL=C PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M fedora-13 -enable-kvm -m 192 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name pxetest -uuid 0722f833-059e-a172-0d4c-bd2ffe106959 -nographic -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/pxetest.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=monitor,mode=readline -rtc base=utc -no-acpi -boot n -device rtl8139,vlan=0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:9f:b0:bb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -net tap,fd=20,vlan=0,name=hostnet0 -chardev pty,id=serial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=serial0 -usb -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 char device redirected to /dev/pts/0 Cannot boot from non-existent NIC libvirt 0.7.1 nicely presents the pxe menu on the console.
