Hi, I added a fe more args; mkinitrd --with virtio_pci --with virtio_blk ---with virtio -f and it fixed. Your reply caused me to dig around a bit.

Try this: mkinitrd --with virtio_pci --with virtio_blk -f /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) That is what I used when I switched to using virtio for both disk and networking. Also, make sure you got the Virtio declaration correct: -- Benjamin Franz ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt

I did mkinitrd --with virtio_blk initrd-2.6.18-308.4.1.el5.img 2.6.8-308.4.1.el5 It boots fine as long as I leave the dik bus at IDE.

They currently have labels so I will initrd it with the argument, thanks for that. - aurf ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
