ok, i'll give it a try. But "make defconfig" will make a new .config. So i think there won't ever be any 'y' to give to "make oldconfig"? anyhow. after "make defconfig" there was no "CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK" in it. But in "make menuconfig" i found and enabled it (also CONFIG_VIRTIO_NIC). (maybe some issues of -rc2) >> all my tries with virtio ended up with a kernel panic not finding the >> harddisk...

Is "virtio" block device replacing SATA/SCSI - are the SCSI/SATA drivers needed on guest? thanks - Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
