I got confused, sorry. Let's try to enumerate what works and what does not. Could you tell us which of the following combinations you tried and with what result (works/doesn't)? - virtio + raw + 0.12 - virtio + qcow2 + 0.12 - ide + qcow2 + 0.12 - virtio + raw + 0.13 - virtio + qcow2 + 0.13 - ide + qcow2 + 0.13 Thanks!
