similar to: Problems with qemu-kvm and etherboot-roms-kvm

I see that kvm has been updated since Sept. 08 2007, and qemu hasn't since Sept. 12 2007. I understand that redhat is migrating from xen to kvm, I'm curious if that has provoked this reduced maintenance or if interest was just lost. If this is of interest to others, Qemu 0.9.1 does provide a lot more features lacking in 0.9.0 that I would like to use, including virtio and e1000 NIC

CentOS Virt, I'm using Farkas' repository, as I'm sure you've guessed. I seem to be having stability issues. The parent distro is CentOS 5.2 patched all the way to current, as well as centos 5.2 for the KVM virtuals. I have been having random crashes such that the virtual is non-responsive. Has anyone else been seeing this? - Michael Schenck -------------- next part

Hi, is there any way to simulate a PXE boot from an Etherboot ROM? Background: I am using PXES in a customer project. PXES supports bootsplash only via pxelinux. The customer machines only have old ISA network cards for which there appears to be no PXE boot rom so I have to use Etherboot. Maybe one could build an NBI image from pxelinux.0 somehow ??? Use a newer etherboot image as a second

Having installed the following packages the problem was solved: kernel-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 kvm-83-164.el5 kmod-kvm-83-164.el5 etherboot-roms-kvm-5.4.4-13.el5.centos etherboot-zroms-kvm-5.4.4-13.el5.centos Cheers, Vladimir 2010/7/19 Momonth <momonth at gmail.com>: > Hi All, > > I'm playing with KVM in order to adopt the technology for dev / > testing purposes.

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

When booting HVMs with SeaBIOS, the BIOS itself takes care of extracting option ROMs from the PCI devices. These ROMs are usually provided with by the device model (qemu). Thus, hvmloader should not require any longer the rombios, stdvga, cirrusvga or etherboot ROMs to be present. Also, the 32bitbios_support.c file is specific to rombios and should not be built when building hvmloader with

This patch set mainly allows the user to build a seabios or rombios only version of hvmloader. In addition, when building a seabios only hvmloader, Option ROMs like vgabios and etherboot are no longer required, and therefore can be disabled from the build. Dependency on the bcc compiler can also be avoided the same way. v2: Separate patches for separate issues Introduced config option to

Hi there, I do not know if it has to do with my english knowledge, but I tried several times to understand the difference beetween Etherboot and PXE-Linux. I know that Etherboot can be put on a Nic's ROM, but for what on h*ll then is the Etherboot floppy for? Please, could someone explain me stupid person these things? Thanks a lot. Greets, Thorsten

Hi, When I first built my Debian package, I needed to depend on qemu-system | qemu, since there was no other ways to pull needed BIOS files. It seems the situation changed, and that I could depend on less stuff from the qemu package. Maybe only the package named "etherboot" and "vgabios". To do that, my plan is to simply package a folder named: /usr/share/xen/qemu with in

Hi, [I sent this mail again because my previous mail was rejected by ML for some reason] This topic is originally from etherboot ML. When we specify "localboot" for pxelinux loaded from etherboot, this option doesn't work( it doesn't boot from local harddrive ). pxelinux returns to PXE with localboot return code but etherboot doesn't check it. I was trying to change

Hello PXE folk, I mentioned in another thread that I had problems finding an etherboot that actually works with a 486 and Realtek 8019/NE2000 card. Etherboot worked up until v 5.3.5-mc1 with the ne driver but then stopped working between 5.3.7 to 5.3.13 (anoying since 5.3.7 started supporting PXELINUX. But then I downloaded 5.3.14 and it seems to work again with the ne driver (finally

PXE-On-A-Disk from (ftp://ftp.scyld.com/private/jlehan/pxe-on-a-disk.html) was posted on syslinux mailing list: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2005-December/006222.html.
