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>

  <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.
