Hi, I've checked that my EFW 2.4 loaded the virtio drivers for all my NIC's.
But you can't run the installer when you've assigned your virtio NIC's. You have to first install it with emulated NIC's and after the installer finished you have to switch your NIC's to virtio. See, my bug report here: http://bugs.endian.it/view.php?id=1116 Regards. NicoP.

I've switched my EFW-KVM-Guest to use virtio for my NIC's and it works out of the box. Okay, I've not explicitely checked that the virtio drivers were loaded, but I've never seen an auto-fallback to the default emulation NIC. I've also tried to use the virtio for my harddisk. This is currently not working as the init image doesn not contain the virtio disk driver. Endian could easily fix this. And, causal to the 2.6.27.x kernel of the EFW 2.4 it runs a lot of smoother within my KVM host. I've not measured the difference but my CPU usage of the EFW guest was always one of the highest (even during idle)... with EFW 2.4 with is at the same as all my other guest (debian >2.6.26).

I installed 2.4 from scratch into a virtual machine, and although it did crash and reboot one time when I was adding fixed leases to the DHCP service, it?s been running pretty solid since. I really like the dashboard. And unlike 2.2, it actually emails reports to me now. I use centos 5.5 and KVM as the vm server. EFW 2.4 still doesn?t support virtio nics, so I use the emulations, but it works fine.

Also is it worth it? Like is it usable or things are breaking or what? From the mailing list, it seems there are alot of issues cropping up in usability as well Regards, Satish Alwani ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Efw-user mailing list Efw-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/efw-user ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Efw-user mailing list Efw-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/efw-user
