[Bug 776620] Re: Unable to boot from CD when the VM has 2 IDE cdrom attached

[Serge Hallyn]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better.

Note that as a workaround, you can connect the iso to the second cdrom
instead of the first.  The qemu command being executed (when cdrom 1 is
connected and cdrom 2 is not, and 'boot=cdrom' is specified) is:

/usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc-0.14 -enable-kvm -m 512 -smp
1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name test -uuid a555c9eb-7b81-0a0e-53ef-
1f8b16e33f8d -nodefconfig -nodefaults -chardev
socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/test.monitor,server,nowait
-mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=readline -rtc base=utc -boot
order=d,menu=off -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/test.img,if=none,id

=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0 -drive file=/home/serge/natty-desktop-
amd64.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw
-device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0

-device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=1,drive=drive-ide0-0-1,id=ide0-0-1
-netdev tap,fd=18,id=hostnet0 -device
rtl8139,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:f0:9e:74,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3
-chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-
serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -usb -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 -vga cirrus
-device AC97,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -device virtio-balloon-
pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5

I've tried enabling the boot menu, but 'F12' was not working for me.
