Hi all,
I have to admit Martin might have been right: I upgraded to qemu 2.6.0
and still I see the same problem with virtio disks on my custom built Linux
box.
I create domain using the previously mentioned domain xml definition and
try to install ubuntu from an iso. Earty on during the installation I get
an error:
The attempt to mount a file system with type ext4 in Virtual disk1,
partition#1 (vda1) at / failed
At this point the installation fails and I have to reboot the domain.
There obviously is something I'm missing since the same works on a ubuntu
host machine but I have no idea what or how to debug it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Yes, I think this is a problem with kvm/virtio then, yes. But
unfortunately it's highly improbable that you'd get much help on kernel
issues from libvir-list. Maybe qemu people can help. But I doubt the
problem is in libvirt. Sorry.
