virtual machine does not boot from its hard disk
I have kickstarted my first CentOS 6 host under ovirt. When it boots, the VM tries to PXE boot again rather than going to the hard disk. If I look under "Boot Options" in my VM, there's only: * First Device: Hard Disk * Second Device: [None] If I "Enable boot menu" then I can Hit F12 when the machine boots and select the disk. I suspect this is a bug, or am I missing something? In addition, can you configure which of the network interface does PXE boot? or ovirt will always try all of them until it finds one that works? It would seem natural to me to have another column under "Network Interfaces" labelled "PXE" where you decide which of the interfaces have PXE enabled. Jason.
Make sure that KickStart installed correct boot sector (on correct partition). For example boot Hiren's CD on VM and check that Grub trying to boot correct /boot partition and your /boot partition is active (bootable). 2015-04-02 18:28 GMT+02:00 Jason Keltz <jas@cse.yorku.ca>:

This is not the problem because I can hit F12, choose the disk, and the machine boots fine. I *had* set the machine to PXE boot before hard disk, but after undoing that, the configuration seems to have held.

is the disk marked as 'bootable'?

Hi!
I have kickstarted my first CentOS 6 host under ovirt. When it boots, the VM tries to PXE boot again rather than going to the hard disk.
If I look under "Boot Options" in my VM, there's only:
* First Device: Hard Disk * Second Device: [None]
If I "Enable boot menu" then I can Hit F12 when the machine boots and select the disk.
I suspect this is a bug, or am I missing something?
Seems I've managed to reproduce this bug. Does your scenario looks similar to this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1209038 ? -- Shmuel

Yup. That would be the exact scenerio... Jason.
