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? Ok, thanks for the tip. I will consider it if it impossible to control the boot option as explained above. Or maybe I'll just settle with being annoyed and start the machine from the command line :) All the best, Daniel Janzon _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list virt-tools-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines.
