Description mliu 2011-05-13 06:06:03 UTC 
Description of problem:
When I create a new FV guest and select Http mode on Xen, the guest will boot from CDROM.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
virt-manager-0.6.1-14.el5
xen-3.0.3-130.el5
kernel-xen-2.6.18-259.el5

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch #virt-manager
2. Select local connection and click New to create a new guest
3. Select "Fully virtualized"
4. Select "Network install tree(HTTP, FTP, or NFS)" as installation mode
5. Input the Installation media URL, such as "http://download.englab.nay.redhat.com/pub/rhel/released/RHEL-6/6.0/Server/i386/os"
6. Input other values and Finish
7. The installation is started

  
Actual results:
On the guest detail window, it displays "Disk Found" and asks me to choose installation mode again. On the Hardware list, I found there is an IDE cdrom disk, and the Boot Device is CDROM.

Expected results:
The installation should not boot from CDROM and need not to input http URL again.

Additional info:
This problem is only occurred on Xen FV.
Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2011-06-20 22:51:07 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7 and Red Hat does not plan to fix this issue the currently developed update.

Contact your manager or support representative in case you need to escalate this bug.
Comment 3 Cole Robinson 2011-07-12 23:25:27 UTC 
That's intentional, it's the only way RHEL5 FV can install a guest via a URL, we just fetch the boot.iso
