This is because the vexpress-a9 machine has no PCI, so you can't currently use virtio with it. The current plan is to implement the virtio-mmio transport to provide virtio, but this isn't done yet. PS: you should probably be using vexpress-a15 instead since in practice the CPU KVM will give you will look basically like a kind of A15. Still no PCI, though. -- PMM
