You'll probably have to build a new initrd image in the guest adding the 
following options to the mkinitrd call:
"--with=virtio_pci --with=virtio_blk"

This makes sure that the guest will find the virtual devices when booting.

If you use LVM volume groups in the guest then you also need to make sure 
that you use a *very* recent version of the lvm2 package (not older than a 
month) because older versions don't scan the virtual block devices for 
volume groups due to a name change.

Regards,
   Dennis
