My guest configuration.

Description of problem:
When trying to boot from network (PXE) using current virt-preview repository on Fedora 12 it says, that I am trying to boot from non-existent NIC.
After downgrade it works again, but only after bochs-bios was downgraded.

Comment 6 Patrick Boutilier 2010-04-29 00:02:44 UTC
Starts booting from PXE but DHCP doesn't work. I don't see any bootps traffic on br0. If I interrupt PXE boot with Ctrl-B, "dhcp net0" from gPXE command line works.
