Infrastructure Software

Hi All,

I've saved a 2.2.2 guest into a template, imported that into 3.0.2 and created a guest using it. VM starts up fine but can't remember the password for root (this was a once off where we changed the root password so a vendor could access it as root and forgot to change it back).

So I wanted to boot the guest from a System Rescue CD off the network via ftp after mounting the iso. Well, that didn't work out too well:

Error: Boot loader didn't return any data!

Tried changing the path to various folders in the mounted iso to no avail. Tried a Fedora 15 live cd as well but same problem. So I'm thinking unlike the Oracle Linux iso's, other distributions are not so straight forward when trying to boot from them off the network (http/ftp etc).

Is there a way to boot a PVM guest off the network to iso's other than Oracle Linux? Or perhaps another way to reset the root password for this guest?

Thanks.
