Comment # 3 on bug 989462 from Alan Ott

Hi Dirk, thanks for having a look. I don't have permissions to view bug 983747,
but bug 981836 is not quite the same thing.

981836 is about finding the firmware path automatically and adds a new place to
the search path.

My bug is that it _can_ find the firmware (because it shows in the virt-manager
GUI) but it uses the wrong <loader ... type=""> in the generated XML file. It's
trying to use "<loader ... type='pflash'>", but the only thing that seems to
work is "<loader ... type='rom'>".

Again though, my assertion of virt-manager's use of type='pflash' is only
speculation, since the VM XML file never actually shows up on the drive
(because it fails to be created). However, I know that if I change my working
XML to type='pflash', I get the same error when I try to create it.

So all that is to say that maybe bug 983747 does describe this issue (since I
don't have permissions to view it), but bug 981836 is about something
different.

Thanks again for looking,

Alan.
