This is unrelated. The boot order puts the hard disk ahead of the CD-ROM, but since the hard disk has no MBR, it falls back to the CD-ROM. Once the system is installed, it boots from the hard disk as expected. > Reusing that created VM for more ISO testing by selecting "CDROM" in boot > options will make it boot with > kvm -hda hda.img -cdrom jaunty-desktop-i386.iso -m 512 -boot d > and then at the end of the install after rebooting I get the "No bootable > device" error, I need to switch back Boot options to "Hard disk" to boot from > the hard drive, or stop/restart the VM to boot from the CD again.

I think it would be fine if kvm emulated the type of CD-ROM which re-inserts the disc automatically in this case. -- - mdz -- Fails to boot from CD after reboot: CDROM boot failure code: 0003 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
