Package: qemu-kvm Severity: minor Hi, I've noticed my kvm warns about using boot=on so I've decided to find some documentation, as I found boot=on enables extboot option rom removed upstream because seabios can boot directly from sata. References in #652447, perhaps I was able to boot as linux vm from a scsi disk using latest seabios code without using lsi proprietary rom (maybe they implemented scsi boot).
if I run: vm -m 1024 -snapshot -device ahci,id=ahci0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -drive file=/dev/sda,if=none,id=drive-sata0-0-0,format=raw,boot=on -device ide-hd,bus=ahci0.0,drive=drive-sata0-0-0,id=sata0-0-0 kvm complains about deprecated boot=on, grub loads and it can boot but if I run: kvm -m 1024 -snapshot -device ahci,id=ahci0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -drive file=/dev/sda,if=none,id=drive-sata0-0-0,format=raw -device ide-hd,bus=ahci0.0,drive=drive-sata0-0-0,id=sata0-0-0 grub loads but it's unable to identify the filesystem my ptable: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 2048 3071999 1534976 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda2 3072000 236963839 116945920 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda3 318883840 351649791 16382976 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda4 236963840 318883839 40960000 83 Linux sda4 is ext4, and I'm trying to boot my windows from my linux maybe seabios it's unable to correcly map whole drive?
