Doesn't it clashes with the cdrom? Please provide full description of this
(In reply to comment #2) > Doesn't it clashes with the cdrom? Please provide full description of this For this bug I don't think it is related with cdrom ,every time I use (qemu)info block to check the the block info , no default cdrom device showed I also tried start image which bus=ide.0 and append a -cdrom XXX.iso ,Guest still could not start ,it hang at "Booting from Hard Disk"
You should never ever even think about trying to move HDD between devices (or changing bootindex of HDD) and then complain about it not booting. It is not supposed to work. If it works this is because you got lucky this time. I am not sure what are you trying to test but you surely do it wrong.
Seems like Gleb 'thinks' :) its not a bug
