I want to set up the virtio-net for the GuestOS on KVM. Following is my steps:
1.Compile the kvm-88 and make, make install.
2.Compile the GuestOS(redhat) with kernel version 2.6.27.45(with
virtio support). The required option are all selected.
o CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI=y (Virtualization -> PCI driver for
virtio devices)
o CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON=y (Virtualization -> Virtio balloon driver)
o CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=y (Device Drivers -> Block -> Virtio block driver)
o CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=y (Device Drivers -> Network device
support -> Virtio network driver)
o CONFIG_VIRTIO=y (automatically selected)
o CONFIG_VIRTIO_RING=y (automatically selected)
3.Then start up the GuestOS by such command:
x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 /root/redhat.img
-net nic,model=virtio -net tap,script=/etc/kvm/qemu-ifup
4.Result is this:
* The Guest OS start up.
* But the network not, no eth-X device found.
* lsmod | grep virtio get none module about virtio
Then why the virtio_net not show up in the GuestOS? Is there any
wrongs on my each steps? or lacking some settings? I have referred the
page http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Virtio, but not found any special
requirement.
Does anyone have some tips? Thanks in advance.
