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.
