Re: kvm-85 won't boot guests with virtio block device

After an upgrade from kvm-84 to kvm-85 all my guests won't start because
no boot device could be found.
No problem here, my guests run fine with kvm-85 and 2.6.29.1:
	-drive file="$IMG",format=raw,cache=none

Are you sure you are using a virtio blockdevice and not a regular ide one? IIRC, you need to add if=virtio to the -drive parameter to get virtio. Or became virtio the default these days?
Oh, sorry, I picked the wrong one :-(

This is the right example:
	-drive file="$IMAGE1",if=virtio,format=raw,cache=none,boot=on

I'm running 32 bit guest on 32 bit host and 32 bit guest on 64 bit host.
Both "big floppies" and images with partition tables work.

Sorry for the noise,
Bernhard
