Subject: boot problems with if=virtio
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2009 16:13:17 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49F61FED.1020107@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

I know there have been a couple other threads here about booting with 
if=virtio, but I think this might be a different problem, not sure:

I am using kvm.git (41b76d8d0487c26d6d4d3fe53c1ff59b3236f096)
and qemu-kvm.git (8f7a30dbc40a1d4c09275566f9ed9647ed1ee50f)
and linux 2.6.20-rc3

It appears to build fine.  I am trying to run the following command:

name=newcastle-xmailt01
dev1=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600a0b80000f1eb10000069748d8c230
dev2=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600a0b80000f1eb1000006dc48f45432
macaddr=00:50:56:00:00:06
tap=tap6
cpus=1
mem=1024
/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -name $name\
    -drive file=$dev1,if=virtio,boot=on,cache=none\
    -drive file=$dev2,if=virtio,boot=off,cache=none\
    -m $mem  -net nic,model=virtio,vlan=0,macaddr=$macaddr\
    -net tap,vlan=0,ifname=$tap,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -vnc 127.0.0.1:6 
-smp $cpus -daemonize


...and I get "Boot failed: could not read the boot disk"

This did work with the kvm-userspace.git (kvm-85rc6).  I can get this to 
work with a windows vm, using ide.  Was there a recent change to the 
-drive options that I am missing?

Thanks,

-Andrew
