Thanks for taking the time to submit this bug. However, if I understand right, lucid's qemu *does* support 'boot=on' since it is qemu-kvm. The libvirt source has changed a great deal since the version in lucid, and would need to be re-written. Finally, as lucid is LTS, I'd be afraid of doing this in a way that would change behavior for some existing users.
Please feel free to attach a patch and rationale that there is no chance of regression (to change my or someone else mind), but given that this is for use with a non-standard qemu, I'm going to mark this wontfix. Is there something in particular you need from that version of qemu? If there's a bug perhaps we can fix that in the qemu-kvm package? It should also be possible for you to use a backport of maverick's libvirt to natty. ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/835818 Title: Can't boot qemu w/o kvm (no boot=on param, upstream patch) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/835818/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
