any reason why you install on SCSI but then boot on IDE?
I tried to install 2 Guests.
Guest 1. Started Rhel 5.3 install on one guest with scsi and booted up
successfully using below command
qemu-kvm -boot c rhel5.3.raw
Guest 2. Same way i just Started SLES 11 install on SCSI.After
successful
install,i tried to boot with
qemu-kvm -boot c sles11.raw
Assuming default interface is IDE, tried to boot the SLES 11 guest
using
below command and succeeded.
qemu-kvm -drive file=sles11.raw,if=scsi,boot=on
I can't talk for the RHEL one, but SUSE's initrd only includes the
modules required to bring back exactly the same configuration you had
when running mkinitrd (installation in your case).
So if you install on SCSI, but boot from IDE later on, that definitely
breaks,
If you want to create a versatile initrd that could boot anywhere,
call mkinitrd -A. Keep in mind that you'll probably have to adjust the
root= parameter still, unless you choose to identify the root device
by UUID during installation.
