I'll try to work from this on, but I've 2 immediate questions. What is /usr/bin/qemu-kvm ? Debian does not ship such binary, neither in kvm nor in qemu-kvm nor in qemu packages. The binary we ship is /usr/bin/kvm not /usr/bin/qemu-kvm. > -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 \ > -name squeeze-test \ > -uuid bfc456ea-f3bc-d4f3-9d02-dd0511751f7c \ > -nodefaults \ > -chardev > socket,id=monitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/squeeze-test.monitor,server,nowait > \ > -mon chardev=monitor,mode=readline \ > -rtc base=utc -boot c \ > -drive > file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/squeeze-test.img,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw > \ > -device > virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0 \ So, this is using virtio and -boot c. qemu-kvm-0.12 isn't able to boot from virtio disk this way, it needs ",boot=on" device property instead of "-boot c". The ability to treat virtio drives as ide ones when booting is concerned (i.e. in bios) first appeared in 0.13 (counting only official releases). So it appears libvirt calls it incorrectly. Libvirt is too new? What are you using there - squeeze? sid?

Yes it does not contain that line, but the surrounding lines are changed too. > I am not a programmer so i might be completely on the wrong path about this ;) Ok, I see, no problem.
