Hello everybody.<div><br></div><div>I&#39;m actualy experiencing some problem for ordering my VM boot with qemu-kvm / Seabios and gPXE.</div><div>I use libvirt&#39;s per-device boot option which launch my VM with this options : </div>

<div><br></div><div>You can find libvirt&#39;s xml there :  <a href="http://pastebin.com/bqizkLiZ">http://pastebin.com/bqizkLiZ</a></div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div>--</div><div>

</div><div><br></div><div>--</div><div><br></div><div>We see the right bootindex option as I want to boot on gPXE from my second NIC (mac=52:54:00:28:ca:e6).</div><div>The problem is that during my VM boot process, seabios initialise gPXE for my 2 NIC. </div>

<div>But then gPXE try to boot (DHCP request) on the first NIC rather than on the second one. </div><div><br></div><div>It always try to boot first on the first PCI device (00:03.0 instead of 00:04.0).</div><div><br></div>

<div>I don&#39;t really know if the problem comes from gPXE or Seabios but I have exactly the same problem when I try with Ubuntu&#39;s etherboot rom.</div><div><br></div><div><br>I got this problem with Ubuntu latest qemu-kvm (0.14.1+noroms-0ubuntu3.11.04.1) / seabios (0.6.2-0ubuntu1) and etherboot (5.4.4-7ubuntu2) and Fedora qemu-kvm (qemu-kvm-0.15.0-4.fc15.x86_64) / Seabios (seabios-bin-0.6.2-2.fc15.noarch)  and gPXE (gpxe-roms-qemu-1.0.1-4.fc15.noarch).</div>

<div><br></div><div>I also recompiled latest Seabios (pre-0.6.3-20110929) trunk and gPXE (1.0.1+) from Git : the behaviour is exactly the same. I tried with different NIC driver (virtio and rtl8139) with also same behavior.</div>

<div><br></div><div>Do you have any idea where my problem can come from ?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance for any advice.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Romain Vrignaud</div><div><br>
