Thanks Dominique & Daniel.

Looks like i need to upgrade my VMs kernel to make it aware of virtio.

Found this information from this link:

http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Virtio#Disk_.28block.29_device_driver

I tried without upgrading the Kernel and as soon as i start my VM it got
into Kernel Panic. I will try using virtio after upgrading my VMs kernel.

As somebody has already said it would have to be a really old kernel to not handle virtio-block, and it's more likely that your bootloader and/or initrd are confused by sda becoming vda.

However if your kernel supports it then virtio-scsi should be even better than virtio-block and shouldn't cause the device name to change.
