[Bug 634756] [NEW] pci_add_option_rom: failed to find romfile "pxe-virtio.bin"

[Loïc Minier]

Public bug reported:

Hi

On a standard Ubuntu Server installation which I did around karmic and
upgraded to lucid, I'm running lucid vms created with ubuntu-vm-builder.

I've noticed that on startup, /var/log/libvirt/qemu/vm-name.log says:
LC_ALL=C PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc-0.12 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 2 -name vm-name -uuid eb33b11c-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/vm-name.monitor,server,nowait -monitor chardev:monitor -boot c -drive file=/somepath/vms/vm-name/tmpHbobjA.qcow2,if=ide,index=0,boot=on -net nic,macaddr=52:54:xxxxx,vlan=0,model=virtio,name=virtio.0 -net tap,fd=41,vlan=0,name=tap.0 -serial none -parallel none -usb -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 -vga cirrus 
pci_add_option_rom: failed to find romfile "pxe-virtio.bin"

the latter warning worries me, it suggests the virtio might not be used
by default

I created the vm with:
sudo ubuntu-vm-builder kvm lucid \
        -d vm-name \
        --debug -v \
        -m 1024 --cpus=2 \
        --rootsize=16384 \
        --addpkg=zsh --addpkg=vim --addpkg=openssh-server \
        --hostname=vm-name \
        --mirror http://somemirror/ubuntu \
        --lang=en_US.UTF-8 \
        --timezone=Europe/Paris \
        --user=lool --name 'Loïc Minier' --pass "somepassword" \
        --ssh-key=`echo ~/.ssh/authorized_keys` --ssh-user-key=`echo ~/.ssh/authorized_keys` \
        --libvirt=qemu:///system --network=default
