Hi,<br><br>I am trying to create a guest machine on xen virtualized environment and install rhel on it by booting from cdrom.<br>I face a issue in booting device. I gave boot order as hd,cdrom. When doing maiden installation, it will find nothing in hard disk and boots from cd.<br>
Once installation is completed and when it boots next time it boots from hard disk. It is the expected behaviour. <br>But it fails to boot from hard disk and again boots from cdrom.<br><br>I also tried specifying per boot device option. I specified disk image as boot order 1 and cd image as boot order 2. But when i power on for the first time, it tries to boot from harddisk and finds nothing there and says " No bootable device. Going to power off in 30 seconds". But expected is, it should boot from cd after trying hard disk.<br>
<br>Below is my domain configuration xml file i used to create guest domain.<br><br><domain type='xen'><br> <name>vm-2</name><br> <memory>1048576</memory><br> <vcpu>1</vcpu><br>
