Building this for f12: * Mon Oct 5 2009 Mark McLoughlin <markmc> - 2:0.11.0-4 - Use rtl8029 PXE rom for ne2k_pci, not ne (#526777) - Also, replace the gpxe-roms-qemu pkg requires with file-based requires tag request: https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/2350 tagged now |
The 'ne' PXE ROM isn't the correct one for qemu's ne2k_pci NIC. We need an update to: 1) change 'pxe_link ne2k_pci ne' to 'pxe_link ne2k_pci rtl8029' 2) make qemu-system-x86 require a version of gpxe-roms-qemu which contains the rtl8029; perhaps it makes sense to just change to file based requires ... See below for more info +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #526243 +++ Created an attachment (id=363003) screenshot of guest trying to boot via PXE Description of problem: If using the ne2k_pci NIC model on the guest, PXE booting doesn't work with the packaged etherboot ROM image. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): etherboot-zroms-kvm-5.4.4-16.fc11.noarch qemu-system-x86-0.10.6-5.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: [root@mf11 ~]# cat /tmp/pxe <domain type='qemu'> <name>pxe</name> <uuid>6812c719-61ac-4ede-dd3d-de9ff3b1a568</uuid> <memory>512000</memory> <currentMemory>512000</currentMemory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc'>hvm</type> <boot dev='network'/> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <pae/> </features> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>destroy</on_reboot> <on_crash>destroy</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='54:52:00:29:2c:5b'/> <source bridge='breth0'/> <model type='ne2k_pci'/> </interface> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' listen='0.0.0.0'/> </devices> </domain> [root@mf11 ~]# virsh define /tmp/pxe Domain pxe defined from /tmp/pxe [root@mf11 ~]# virsh start pxe Domain pxe started Actual results: The etherboot ROM doesn't find the expected NIC. See screenshot. Expected results: PXE booting works. Additional info: The pxe-ne2k_pci ROM image for Qemu must point to rtl8029.zrom, not ne.zrom. ne.zrom is for ISA NICs. --- Additional comment from ehabkost on 2009-09-29 09:06:35 EDT --- I noticed this on Fedora 11, but it seems to be present on Fedora 12 and Rawhide, unless the gPXE ne.rom image works for ne2k_pci (which I doubt). From Rawhide qemu.spec: pxe_link() { ln -s ../gpxe/$2.rom %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/%{name}/pxe-$1.bin } [...] pxe_link ne2k_pci ne [...]
