Hi all,
Maybe this is a known issue, but I had pxe boot working with libvirt 0.7.1
This config:
<domain type='kvm'>
<name>pxetest</name>
<vcpu>1</vcpu>
<memory>196608</memory>
<os>
<type>hvm</type>
<boot dev="network" />
</os>
<devices>
<console type='pty' />
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='br1' />
</interface>
</devices>
</domain>
Creates the following output with libvirt 0.7.7:
[root@localhost data]# virsh create --console pxetest.xml
error: Failed to create domain from pxetest.xml
error: internal error Process exited while reading console log output:
char device redirected to /dev/pts/0
Cannot boot from non-existent NIC
Here's the log:
LC_ALL=C PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M
fedora-13 -enable-kvm -m 192 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name

libvirt 0.7.1 nicely presents the pxe menu on the console. Here's the
qemu cmd under libvirt 0.7.1:
LC_ALL=C PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M
fedora-13 -m 192 -smp 1 -name pxetest -uuid

-boot n -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:84:1e:ca,vlan=0,name=nic.0 -net
tap,fd=18,vlan=0,name=tap.0 -serial pty -parallel none -usb
char device redirected to /dev/pts/0
