Hi All, I'm playing with KVM in order to adopt the technology for dev / testing purposes. Installing RHEL5 from ISO images works ok, no problems with installation. The problem occurs with PXE boot - it is simply doesn't try to do PXE boot, according to what I can see: Booting from Hard Disk... Boot from Hard Disk failed: not a bootable disk FATAL: No bootable device. _ I have: CentOS release 5.4 (Final) , 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 x86_64 kernel libvirt-0.3.3-7.el5 etherboot-roms-kvm-5.4.4-13.el5.centos libvirt-python-0.3.3-7.el5 etherboot-pxes-5.4.4-13.el5.centos etherboot-zroms-5.4.4-13.el5.centos etherboot-roms-5.4.4-13.el5.centos kvm-36-1 kmod-kvm-36-3 etherboot-zroms-kvm-5.4.4-13.el5.centos What I'm doing wrong? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Vladimir
