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.

Fixed in 3.0.4
