Hi, today all my KVMs based on qcow2 images have failed with "not a bootable
hard disk" message.

I am running F13 x64 fully yum updated on AMD Phenom II X4.

All these VMs were working fine (linux,freebsd,winxp).

When I booted a VM from an ISO image and looked at the /dev/vda - there was
a "corrupt" partition table.

When I converted the qcow2 image to raw, and looked at the partition table,
it was fine.

When I switched the VM to use the raw image, it booted and ran fine.

Any known issues with recent KVM/qcow2 interfaction?

Packages:
kernel-2.6.33.6-147.fc13.x86_64
gpxe-roms-qemu-1.0.0-1.fc13.noarch
qemu-common-0.12.3-8.fc13.x86_64
qemu-img-0.12.3-8.fc13.x86_64
qemu-system-x86-0.12.3-8.fc13.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.3-8.fc13.x86_64

Help!? Tks.
