Basically the 'boot=on' boot selection device is something present in KVM but not in upstream QEmu, as a result if we boot a QEmu domain without KVM acceleration we must disable boot=on ... even if the front end kvm binary expose that capability in the help page. * src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: in qemudBuildCommandLine if -no-kvm is passed, then deactivate QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_DRIVE_BOOT
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
