qemu-kvm still unable to load option rom extboot.bin

qemu-kvm still unable to load option rom extboot.bin

[Lucas Meneghel Rodrigues]

Hi folks, seems like we are still facing a build problem on qemu-kvm:
The option rom is failing to boot:

09/04 11:12:08 DEBUG|    kvm_vm:0384| Running qemu command:
/usr/local/autotest/tests/kvm/qemu -name 'vm1' -monitor unix:/tmp/monitor-20090904-111208-9nyy,server,nowait -drive file=/usr/local/autotest/tests/kvm/images/fc9-32.qcow2,if=ide,boot=on -net nic,vlan=0 -net user,vlan=0 -m 512 -cdrom /usr/local/autotest/tests/kvm/isos/linux/Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso -redir tcp:5000::22 -vnc :0
09/04 11:12:08 DEBUG| kvm_utils:0858| (qemu) Could not load option rom 'extboot.bin'

So qemu is still not able to locate roms when it needs them. The test
could work around this as pointed out by Marcelo, by copying the roms to
the right repository, but that's not desirable, it should be fixed on
the build system appropriately.

I will do my best to allways watch closely the results of daily git
testing and report on problems.

Thanks!

Lucas

Avi just committed it:
"[COMMIT master] qemu-kvm: Install built option roms"
