Please try with:
-drive file=/dev/VolGroup00/testpart,if=virtio,index=0,boot=on \
That's it! With boot=on it works.
Thanks for pointing this out.
Was this change intentional? I didn't see it mentioned in the changelog and
could not even find the "boot"-parameter in the qemu-kvm manpage.
The boot=on parameter has been required since virtio_blk existed (or very
close to it). There is no official qemu/kvm manpage. That's something some
distros pulled out of thin air. So bugs with it should be reported to your
distro.
Sure there is. It's generated from qemu-doc.texi.

Anthony Liguori
