Hi, did you install kvm-virtio in i686 kernel or x86_64 kernel? Can you please check if the device files (/dev/xvd*) are created?

hi, according to the following steps, bug can not be reproduced. and guest work well. 1.install one of three kernels and start guest with it. 2.install corresponding virtio drive 3.poweroff guest, and using above kernel restart guest with virtio drive or 1. install all kernels 2. select one kernels to start guest and install corresponding virtio drive 3. using above kernel to restart guest with virtio drive so it is not bug.
