The boot order issue http://osdir.com/ml/libvir-list/2009-08/msg00398.html resolved with the code changes specified by http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-August/msg00340.html seems to suggest that hard disks, cdroms, floppy devices (since they are all disks) are ordered primarily by virtual bus type as encountered in the domain xml. This indicates that there can exist a conflict between the primary and secondary boot device types. Given the scenario where the disks of a virtual server are defined in the following order harddisk hda harddisk vda cdrom vdb cdrom hdb Boot device type is crdom. Which cdrom device will be boot attempted? >From the above links, I'm guessing that hdb will be boot attempted. Is this the actual behavior?
