Subject: grub booting from virtio but can't see virtio disks
Date: Mon, 2 Aug 2010 21:05:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100802190548.GF18585@/bin/hostname> (raw)

Hi. I've been wondering why grub can boot from a virtio device but can't see
virtio devices. I wanted to have a generic disk which would have a bios
partition with grub modules and this would include grub.cfg from a second disk.
I could use this image to boot all my virtual linux machines without the need
to have a partition on a logical volume. This way I have a separate virtio
boot lv with partitions and it works fine. It just doesn't seem as nice and I'm
curious if there is a way to get it to work, meaning if for example using efi
or some other kind of bios for qemu or grub module would help it.

thanks
mk
