Hi all!

I have some installations with Debian GNU/Linux Etch I'm migrating to
KVM. I just installed a kernel 2.6.26 from backports to use Virtio.

But when I try to boot the operating system, it can not find the vd*
device to mount the root filesystem. I made sure to change the
/etc/fstab using partitions vd* and using in the 'root' GRUB parameter
the vd corresponding partition. Just in case it were not loading the
module, I added 'virtioi-blk' in /etc/modules, but I keep getting the
same problem.

What could be the problem?


Thanks in advance for your replies.

Regards,
Daniel
