Description Giacomo Bagnoli 2009-05-08 08:37:52 UTC

Libvirtd is not able to boot guest using virtio-blk, resulting in "Boot failed: could not read the boot disk" from the QEMU BIOS.
Applying the patch found here : http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/19851/ fixes the bug.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install libvirt and kvm-85
2. create a VM with virtio disks
3. start the VM to boot from hd.

Actual Results:  
vm stops with "Boot failed: could not read the boot disk"

Expected Results:  
vm boot from virtual disk
