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.
