Hello,
I am attempting to test AHCI disks and find that I am unable to boot of
the disk, even though the disk is seen if I do a network boot.
This works:
-drive
file=/srv/kvm/debian.raw,if=virtio,cache=writeback,bus=0,index=0,media=disk,format=raw,serial=1,boot=on
This [1] does not:
-drive file=/srv/kvm/debian.raw,if=none,id=${AHCIID} \
-device ahci,id=${AHCIID} \
-device ide-hd,drive=${AHCIID},bus=${AHCIID}.0
The latter gives me : "Boot failed. Could not read the boot disk"
1. Should it work?
2. If so, what am I doing wrong? ;)
Any help much appreciated!
Conrad

You shouldn't use boot=on.

AFAIK yes if you BIOS is up-to-date.

Yes... but in our specific case we cannot use boot-order (yet)...
Thanks for point it out though ;)
