Description of problem: start vm with command: # qemu-kvm -name 'vm1' -monitor tcp:0:6001,server,nowait -drive file=/kvm/images/win2003-32.qcow2,if=ide,snapshot=on,boot=on -net nic,vlan=0,model=e1000,macaddr=00:9B:FF:B5:A5:00 -net tap,vlan=0,ifname=e1000_0_6001,script=/kvm/scripts/qemu-ifup-switch,downscript=no -m 4096 -smp 2 -usbdevice tablet -rtc-td-hack -no-hpet -cpu qemu64,+sse2 -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -boot n -vnc :0 we got "No valid PXE rom found for network device" and command failed. NOTE: gpxe is not installed at this point. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 83-139.el5 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. type command: -- qemu-kvm -name 'vm1' -monitor tcp:0:6001,server,nowait -drive file=/kvm/images/win2003-32.qcow2,if=ide,snapshot=on,boot=on -net nic,vlan=0,model=e1000,macaddr=00:9B:FF:B5:A5:00 -net tap,vlan=0,ifname=e1000_0_6001,script=/kvm/scripts/qemu-ifup-switch,downscript=no -m 4096 -smp 2 -usbdevice tablet -rtc-td-hack -no-hpet -cpu qemu64,+sse2 -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -boot n -vnc :0 -- into terminal. 2. 3. Actual results: qemu-kvm command failed with: "No valid PXE rom found for network device" Expected results: VM can boot from network (using pxe server). Additional info: 1. if gpxe is not installed, we got: the link "pxe-e1000.bin" pointing to an illegal (not existed) path. 2. if gpxe-roms-qemu.x86_64 0:0.9.7-8.el5 is installed, with # rpm -qa |grep kvm kmod-kvm-83-139.el5 kvm-qemu-img-83-139.el5 etherboot-zroms-kvm-5.4.4-12.el5 kvm-debuginfo-83-139.el5 kvm-tools-83-139.el5 kvm-83-139.el5 we got "Too many option ROMS".

How 550265 solved then?
(In reply to comment #2) > How 550265 solved then? after updated to kvm-83-140 and etherboot-5.4.4-13.el5, this problem disappears.
Can you please close the bug then?

Hi, Yaniv, I have tested on the machine that vbian used yesterday, and cannot reproduce the bug. And she cannot reproduce it too for now, because of the env issue (?) of RHVEM on her hand. besides, the packages on the machine might be not clean yesterday, people installed/uninstalled difference versions of gpxe/etherboot-[z]roms. So, according to the results I've got, I think we can close this bug. Thanks for your concern. --- kcao --> Dor Hi, Dor, According to lihuang's comment (Comment #1), I'd like to close this bug as dupcliated to bz#550053. Thanks.
