Subject: virtio: kvm-62, lilo cannot be installed into virtio device
Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2008 09:40:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47C67360.6070305@korex.sk> (raw)
Hello
I test virtio block device. I can boot from vda as root partition, but
if I want to install lilo into boot sector, lilo give me this error:
Fatal: Linux experimental device 0x04x needs to be defined.
Check 'man lilo.conf' under 'disk=' and 'max-partitions='
I boot it like this:
kvm -boot c -drive file=basic-virtio.qcow2,if=virtio,boot=on -m 512 -vnc
:0 -net nic,model=virtio,vlan=0,macaddr=00:00:10:52:37:48 -net
tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap0,script=no -daemonize -localtime
basic-virtio.qcow is with lilo in boot sector installed, because is
image what I use before virtio testing. But with each boot I must
manually add root=/dev/vda2 if I want to boot it.
Host: Gentoo, kernel with gentoo patchset 2.6.24-r3
Guest: Gentoo, kernel vanilla 2.6.25-rc3
KVM: 62
qemu: 0.9.1
Thank you for your job.
