Description Chida 2010-03-14 13:18:54 UTC
This did not work with FC11 KVM and GSP 3.0.0 or FC12 KVM and 3.0.3.

KVM was managed with Virtual Machine Manager GUI

Comment 1 Chida 2010-03-14 16:17:29 UTC
I'm trying to boot a virtual GSP node with Linux KVM and VirtIO. While
the install itself detects both the VirtIO harddisk (/dev/vdx) and
VirtIO ethernet nic and completes successfully, I'm not able to boot
the virtual machine from it. After POST I can only see the GSP boot
message and the countdown timer, but when the timer reach 0 it stalls.
When I reassign the _same_ disk as IDE or SCSI device, the virtual
machine boots as expected.
Am I missing something, is VirtIO not supported or is this a bug ?

Comment 2 Jorgen Rosink 2010-03-14 18:08:42 UTC
The issue described in this bug report is triggered with the following setup:

* Gluster Storage Platform
- GSP 3.0.3 (tried with default install image and iso)

* Proxmox Virtual Environment (http://www.proxmox.com/)
- Proxmox VE 1.5
- Linux kernel 2.6.32 (2.6.32-1-pve)
- QEMU-KVM 0.11.1


As reported, this bug only occurs with the VirtIO block device driver. KVM with IDE and SCSI emulation works, the same goes for the VirtIO ethernet driver.
