Subject: [Qemu-devel] "A disk read error occurred"
Date: Sat, 28 Jun 2008 22:42:09 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <478c82f00806281242q52a7fa55qcd458c9915e0c5a7@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

For some reason when I try to boot qemu with -hda /dev/sda (or -hda
/dev/hda), i.e. to use the whole disk, it fails with the above error
"A disk read error occurred". This happens only on IBM/Lenovo laptops
(tried a few models), while it works just fine on any desktop I can
get my hands on. Probably has something to do with bios...

Any suggestions ?

Thanks
