Hi All
I looked at this page for reference to using virtio drivers on
KVM guests.
http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Virtio
In the requirements section it is mentioned that we need a
virtio compatible guest with kernel >= 2.6.25
One of my guest has this version:
[root@localhost ~]# uname -a
Linux localhost 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 3 03:28:30 EDT
2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I was still able to use the virtio drivers by enabling the
corresponding options in the qemu xml file and also i created a
new initrd image file inside my guest using the mkinitrd command
as mentioned in the link provided above.
My question is , Is it fine to use the virtio drivers with the
kernel that i have for my guest or i definitely need to get to
kernel version >= 2.6.25 ?
Thanks
Jatin
