Description Gene Czarcinski 2009-08-12 18:46:36 UTC 
Description of problem:
When creating a new guest virtual machine for Fedora 10 and specifying Fedora 10 as the system type, the resulting device type for the CD/DVD iso image is "/dev/vdb" which results in "could not read boot disk".

I suspect that only an IDE device will work with the CD/DVD.

I have not tested it but this probably does not work with a Fedora 11 guest either.

Specifying that the system type is Fedora 9 so that IDE device types only will be used works.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 11 plus "virt-preview" set of packages for F11.
libvirt-0.7.0-3.fc11.x86_64
qemu-0.10.91-0.5.rc1.fc11.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.10.91-0.5.rc1.fc11.x86_64
virt-manager-0.8.0-1.fc11.noarch


How reproducible:
everytime

Could you attach virt-manager.log and the guest log from /var/log/libvirt/qemu ?

virt-manager.log

started with a clean log ... only did the definition of "f10test" which had /deb/vdb for the CD/DVD (which did not work)

Thanks Gene, I can reproduce this - adding to the Fedora 12 blocker list

Perry confirms this happens with virt-install too

Comment 8 Eric Paris 2009-08-21 14:56:46 UTC 
removing the virtio storage device for the cdrom and re-adding a new storage device as cdrom/ide for the iso and my livecd boots!

Success!

Comment 10 Mark McLoughlin 2009-09-21 16:29:17 UTC 
I think this is supposed to be fixed by:

* Sun Sep 13 2009 Cole Robinson <crobinso> - 0.500.0-2.fc12
- Don't use virtio for cdrom devices (bz 517151)

However, there may be more issues - see bug #524109
