CDROM boot failure code : 0004 Boot from CD-Rom failed: could not read the boot disk FATAL: No bootable devices My config file is : kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" builder='hvm' memory = 2048 name = "WinXP" vcpus=2 disk = [ 'file:/var/lib/xen/images/winxpdisk.img, ioemu:hda,w', 'file:/winimages/winxp.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' ] device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm boot="d" vnc=1 what do you think, where can be the error? i tried many combinations and looked the examples in the user manual, but booting from image file doesn't work. And one more thing. When i installed a virtual machine, how can i change the boot device for the next boot operations of it, so that the installed machine every time boots from the virtual disk, and not from the cd-rom?
