Hi, I just tried to upgrade my kvm (from 79) to the new 85. I'm using qemu-kvm- devel with the kvm-modules (and kernel-includes) that came with 2.6.29.1. Qemu-blockdevices and virtio-net work well. But virtio blockdevices are not accessible from within the guest system. Neither can the BIOS

Hi Andreas, I am (or better libvirt is) starting the guest like this: -drive file=/dev/VolGroup00/testboot,if=ide,index=0 \ -drive file=/dev/VolGroup00/testvirt,if=virtio,index=1 \ Both should have index=0 (or no index at all), since the index is internal to the driver. sorry, I'm not
