Hello,
I recently get the following error message from virt-install which
unable me to create new VMs:
Boot from Hard Disk failed: not a bootable disk
The command that I use to create a new VM is:
sudo virt-install -v -l
http://mirror3.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/CentOS/6.2/os/x86_64 --ram 1024
--disk path=./images/olio_ruby-c62_64-xen.img,size=10 --name
olio_ruby-c62_64 --graphics
vnc,password=foobar,port=5901,listen=0.0.0.0 --debug
I've also tried with another distro:
sudo virt-install -v -l
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/17/Fedora/x86...
--ram 1024 --disk path=./images/olio_ruby-f17_64-xen.img,size=10
--name olio_ruby-f17_64 --graphics
vnc,password=foobar,port=5904,listen=0.0.0.0 --debug
but the problem persists.
This is strange since until recently I was able to successfully create
a new VM with the above commands.
Before reporting a bug I would like to know some opinion since I am
not an expert in this field.
Some possibly useful info:
