It seems the installer does not consider virtio devices when doing its search. It also seems the installer does not have the virtio-scsi module, and it seems a bit wasteful to go through a layer of scsi emulation.
Shouldn't qemu at least warn you that the media=argument does nothing on virtio devices instead of silently ignoring it? Or better yet, shouldn't it automatically use virtio-scsi instead? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1155403 Title: virtio cdrom detected as hard disk Status in QEMU: Invalid Status in “qemu” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Trying to install Ubuntu or Debian using virtio to emulate the cdrom fails. This appears to be due to the drive appearing to be a hard disk, rather than a cdrom, despite the media=cdrom argument to qemu. I'm not sure if this is a bug in qemu, or the kernel virtio driver?
