Why do you say that? 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=3D =3DGv0p -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- = You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1155403 Title: virtio cdrom detected as hard disk Status in QEMU: Invalid Status in =E2=80=9Cdebian-installer=E2=80=9D package in Ubuntu: New Status in =E2=80=9Cqemu=E2=80=9D package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Trying to install Ubuntu or Debian using virtio to emulate the cdrom fails. This appears to be due to the drive appearing to be a hard disk, rather than a cdrom, despite the media=3Dcdrom argument to qemu. I'm not sure if this is a bug in qemu, or the kernel virtio driver?
