It''s been a while since I installed a guest and I''m having trouble booting from a cd iso. My config to boot from a CD is from before the new QEMU was introduced. Has the syntax of this changed? Here is what I have in my config to boot from a CD iso file I have on my dom0 root. #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Disk image for cdrom = ''/boot/RHEL4U2-64b.boot.iso'' #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # boot on floppy (a), hard disk (c) or CD-ROM (d) #boot=[a|c|d] boot = ''d'' The guest console reports: CDROM boot failure code : 0002 Boot from CD-Rom failed FATAL: Could not read the boot disk _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Thereis no default cdrom drive any longer, to create an empty cdrom drive, use '',hdc:cdrom,r''. Any of the 4 ide devices can be cdrom drives now." cheers, S. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Since the istallation needs 4 CDs, how to specify muliple CD-ROM ISOs in the configuration? I tried to override the ISO file with next ISO file each time it pops up a "change CD" screen. It works only for the first time "change CDROM", then it shows error "unable to access CDROM" for the next "change CDROM". Any suggestion how to handle this? Thanks.
