No, virtio-scsi is relatively new and not all distros have picked it up yet. And not all distros ship hybrid cd images that their installers are happy with on virtio. Given that either one may or may not work, I think it best to honor the user's request and emulate the cd. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRRyMqAAoJEJrBOlT6nu75oS0H+gKIa82bhNHecAmiBHk2AWxR KqoJRyPffR2BKjjgVgGqLciIBW7ltNkP8Dbqg8I7E7eHtNMX1z5dNScbmMXCHkrM Hbvh/op6fvtFn0x6K+OwIkE8/Sm0AhqgIWdv2FnfR9rRRHxlz99R26Gq/qPJqZD9 Pleo6MhgjDBftGbxwJd3hlzSA5Yw5Q90SC1o2rOwi3KLDMm7zRHmMj/Tm/ScflyJ Ujo+H09tqUsm5VXsLtDsgfnUDxE42CQrczSeS0/c7+4mTPNvulwxoqisztbcY1xI O9F+JC5fz4yoDVX5rz97rN8HSHsLeCV1v6k5f9cD1TjzgqSRKRjyAIItor8Bw44= =Mwf8 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1155403 Title: virtio cdrom detected as hard disk To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1155403/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I would say that virtio means use paravirtualized IO rather than emulating some real hardware. Whether that ends up being done with virtio-blk, or virtio-scsi is an implementation detail. The media argument seems a perfectly natural way to select between the two. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRR0hBAAoJEJrBOlT6nu758/YH/3zkuv+yQuyqVzk98wWGCy6V gQOvYyir86but7EmbO/VoY4i+0Oyza3II/qKFeqW4KnIjQ7aS1sJSUsXGU1Wxjoa lxF9zKYM3A7XRIpgnSrIwIL5CvNDZ+zohhiL5sWEp0NVr+fxqSIwFFxpkAb8K5Yi EZWYmg3bwbCw2Ac5qqIs79j7VvPZfeSpwujlOG/frLwF5tjF73JkvkCOIpqYXaEc 3cDAdsdFofQ/Q7xUy58GStbswUXw9lqkIGJTi7xC8PHqCMq0TKOTw8FDgdmyJ+f9 k8+PkwbhqoZL+5N7ZmVCqj/Zo1Sq0p/QYUx4jBO4Ok6bTNZKnTDbcXo5O2Fg4ss= =Gv0p -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1155403 Title: virtio cdrom detected as hard disk To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1155403/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 1155403] Re: virtio cdrom detected as hard disk
Are you sure the cdrom image is valid? It works fine for me, with
kvm -drive file=raring-mini-amd64.iso,if=virtio,media=cdrom -drive
file=x.img,if=virtio,cache=none -m 1024
using either the latest raring full server iso, or a minimal netinst
image from
release=raring
arch=amd64
f=${release}-mini-${arch}.iso
wget -O $f

Re: [Bug 1155403] Re: virtio cdrom detected as hard disk
Quoting Phillip Susi (ps...@ubuntu.com): Are you sure you booted from the cd, not the hd? I'm using the raring- server-amd64.iso and it doesn't work. It has also been reported in Yes. However I just noticed that if I list the hard drive first, then it boots from the hd. If I list the cdrom first, it boots from the cd. Unless that doesn't work for you, I'm marking this low priority as there is a workaround.
