If you don't have the boot.iso attached as a CD drive, can you boot the local drive then? That is, does the bootloader installed by anaconda even work?

I have a vague memory of a bochs bug causing this that got fixed (and bochs is used for the Xen full-virt bios) (In reply to comment #3) > What version of Xen stuff are you running as the host?

Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping I've just verified that the same happens to me with Fedora 12 using qemu with image file Steps to Reproduce: 1. install whatever you prefer into virtual machine (I assume image file F12.qcow) 2. qemu -m 512 -cdrom boot.iso -boot d F12.qcow2 3. select "Boot from local drive" the result is the same - Booting from local disk... FATAL: No bootable device. I've tried also to boot from Fedora-12-i386-DVD.iso and Fedora-12-i386-netinst.iso and the beahaviour is the same. I have this problem with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 Beta i386 and virtualbox 3.1.6 ose updating version, as the problem is reproducible also with Fedora-13-i386-DVD.iso still valid I cannot reproduce this with Fedora 16, seems it got fixed meanwhile |
