Description of problem: I have installed Rawhide as a xen guest. When I leave the system to boot from the image boot.iso, there is an option to boot the system from the local disk, but it does not work for me. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): (version that was available on Feb 19) How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install Rawhide as xen guest 2. mount boot.iso as the cdrom image, set the machine to boot from cd and start it 3. select "Boot from local drive" Actual results: Booting from local disk... FATAL: No bootable device. Expected results: (the installed guest system starts normally) Additional info: the guest harddrive is a partition (not an image file) I am really not sure about the component assignment, but since I do not see anything for isolinux (is it the name?), Anaconda is what comes to my mind next ;-)
If you don't have the boot.iso attached as a CD drive, can you boot the local drive then? That is, does the bootloader installed by anaconda even work?

What version of Xen stuff are you running as the host? I have a vague memory of a bochs bug causing this that got fixed (and bochs is used for the Xen full-virt bios)

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I've just verified that the same happens to me with Fedora 12 using qemu with image file Steps to Reproduce: 1. install whatever you prefer into virtual machine (I assume image file F12.qcow) 2. qemu -m 512 -cdrom boot.iso -boot d F12.qcow2 3. select "Boot from local drive" the result is the same - Booting from local disk... FATAL: No bootable device. I've tried also to boot from Fedora-12-i386-DVD.iso and Fedora-12-i386-netinst.iso and the beahaviour is the same.
I have this problem with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 Beta i386 and virtualbox 3.1.6 ose
updating version, as the problem is reproducible also with Fedora-13-i386-DVD.iso
still valid
I cannot reproduce this with Fedora 16, seems it got fixed meanwhile
