Comment 1 Wei Wang 2016-04-11 03:16:04 UTC

After test with the ovirt4.0.0 alpha1 (ovirt-node-ng-installer-master-20160405.iso ), the issue is still occur.

The steps are as below:
1. using "dd" to make boot driver for usb-disk
   dd if=ovirt-node-ng-installer-master-20160405.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M
2. Press F12 when boot up test host
3. Select "USB Device"
4. "Selected boot device not available..." message is display, and host cannot be boot successfully

Comment 2 Red Hat Bugzilla Rules Engine 2016-04-11 03:16:10 UTC

Target release should be placed once a package build is known to fix a issue. Since this bug is not modified, the target version has been reset. Please use target milestone to plan a fix for a oVirt release.

Comment 3 Fabian Deutsch 2016-04-11 08:32:56 UTC

Wei, could you tell me from which branch you took the build?

I just tested the following locally:

1. Create ISO without isohybrid
2. Create ISO with isohybrid

Results:
After 1: Failed to boot with qemu-kvm -hda …
After 2: Succes to boot with qemu-kvm -hda …

This shows that the patch makes a difference.

Wei, could you please retry to verify this bug with the build from the master branch today?

Comment 4 Wei Wang 2016-04-12 06:20:19 UTC

Fabian, I retest this issue with ovirt-node-ng-installer-master-2016041020.iso, the bug is not verified.

Test step:
1. Using dd command to create USB bootdisk

   #dd if=ovirt-node-ng-installer-master-2016041020.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M

2. Press F12 when boot up test host
3. Select "USB Device"
4. Check the boot up process

Result:
System cannot be booted up successfully, it will suspend on the splash at all, cannot meet the OS welcome frame.

Comment 5 Wei Wang 2016-04-12 06:21:15 UTC

remove the needinfo requests to me.

Comment 6 Fabian Deutsch 2016-04-12 08:41:11 UTC

Can you try this on a second host?
Please also ensure that BIOS/CSM mode is enabled

Comment 7 Ying Cui 2016-04-14 01:34:37 UTC

Wei, I did not encounter this issue with the iso ovirt-node-ng-installer-ovirt-3.6-2016041320.iso, (In reply to Fabian Deutsch from comment #3)
> Wei, could you tell me from which branch you took the build?

Fabian, we downloaded the build from ovirt-3.6 branch, once we get devel a notice to change testing to master branch as we talked, we will change the upstream build testing to master.

Comment 8 Ying Cui 2016-04-14 01:43:31 UTC

Tested the master ovirt-node-ng build(ovirt-node-ng-installer-master-2016041320.iso), I still can not reproduce the issue described in bug description and comment 4.

Comment 9 Wei Wang 2016-04-14 03:01:36 UTC
