After an upgrade from kvm-84 to kvm-85 all my guests won't start because no boot device could be found. The kvm host is an 2xDual-Opteron 2212 with 8 GB RAM installed on debian lenny 2.6.26-2-amd64. All the guests are debian etch 2.6.26-1-amd64 or debian lenny 2.6.26-2-amd64 with 1 CPU and 1 GB mem. A rollback to kvm-84 OR changing the hdd from vda to ide for the guests and everything is OK again (grub entrys have to be changed also from vda1 to hda1). It seems that kvm-85 has a Problem detecting guest configured to use virtio block device. I would like to habe virtio block device support because the performance of the guest is much better with it. Can You help? Greetings Darius
