This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Closing this bug as it is not a regression, and there is no data corruption, and although not very aesthetic, there is an automatic second boot and it works, and there is a workaround (use gpxe). Thanks, Ronen.

If i boot guest with gpxe in boot menu(F12), KVM cann't read Hard disk correctly at the first time booting. After guest reboot (the second time) automatically, it can boot from hard disk successfully. Ronen, should i need to open a new bug for tracking this issue? Thx. host info: # uname -r && rpm -q kvm 2.6.18-333.el5 kvm-83-258.el5 # rpm -qa | grep gpxe gpxe-roms-qemu-0.9.7-9.el5 guest info: # uname -r 2.6.18-333.el5 Best wish. sluo Following additional info by sluo, reopening for 5.10. Hi all, Since etherboot and gpxe are different components, so i separate it into different bugs for tracking, the new bug #845931.
