Hi All,

I'm playing with KVM in order to adopt the technology for dev / testing purposes. Installing RHEL5 from ISO images works ok, no problems with installation.

The problem occurs with PXE boot - it is simply doesn't try to do PXE boot, according to what I can see:

Booting from Hard Disk... Boot from Hard Disk failed: not a bootable disk FATAL: No bootable device. _

I have:

CentOS release 5.4 (Final) , 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 x86_64 kernel

libvirt-0.3.3-7.el5 etherboot-roms-kvm-5.4.4-13.el5.centos libvirt-python-0.3.3-7.el5 etherboot-pxes-5.4.4-13.el5.centos etherboot-zroms-5.4.4-13.el5.centos etherboot-roms-5.4.4-13.el5.centos kvm-36-1 kmod-kvm-36-3 etherboot-zroms-kvm-5.4.4-13.el5.centos

What I'm doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Vladimir
