Hi,
I'm trying to get the paravirtualized block device going but get in trouble 
with LVM. Both host and guest a very recent snapshot of Fedora 9 rawhide. 
The guest is a pristine F9 install with / mounted as /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00.

When I boot with the command:
/usr/bin/qemu-kvm -m 512 -drive file=/root/test-1.img,media=disk,boot=on
the guest boots fine but when I try to boot with:
/usr/bin/qemu-kvm -m 512 -drive file=/root/test-1.img,if=virtio,boot=on
the kernel panics because it cannot find any volume-groups and thus not 
mount /.

Do I have to make any specific changes to the guest to make it 
recognize/detect the volume-group on the virtual block device?

Regards,
   Dennis
