bug video screencast
Example video of the bug. In both attempts I try to boot from the USB device, but it boots from Hard Disk the first time because of the bug.
This seems to still exist in Fedora 18, although in a slightly different way. I installed FreeBSD to a USB stick, and tried to boot from it. To make sure it doesn't boot from anything else I removed the whole IDE controller (I didn't have a SATA/SAS/SCSI controller) together with the IDE CDROM. On the first boot the virtual system tries to boot from anything but USB (this means only network/PXE). It reports that this fails, and that it's going to try again in 60 seconds. After waiting for 60 seconds it reboots, then says "Booting from Hard Disk..." and boots from the USB stick. This is somewhat acceptable to me, but still strange. Why can't the virtual BIOS boot from USB on it's first attempt? This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping I can't reproduce Kamil's initial report anymore. As for comment #2, this likely has to do with virt-manager lacking UI for the more fine grained boot ordering that qemu and libvirt have supported for a while. The boot device list in the UI should actually list every bootable device attached to the guest, not just generic catchalls like disk, net, etc. Adding that is non trivial as there are back compat concerns, so reassigning this to the upstream tracker. *** Bug 848753 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I just tried attaching a USB stick to a guest in Rawhide and using the boot menu, and the stick doesn't appear in the lsit at all. *** Bug 837131 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Upstream virt-manager now lists all bootable devices in its boot order UI. So if you add a usb host device to the guest, it's now a selectable option. Still a two step process though |
