Does the kernel (from net install) support virtio driver?
Posted: Jun 8th, '11, 20:51Hi everyone,
My first post here.
I have a quick question: Does the net install kernel support virtio? I'm about to do a net install (boot.iso) in a kvm virtual machine (the host is openSUSE, but it's irrelevant). OK, I'll find out myself, but I thought I would ask first. On most distros (including Mandriva), there is nothing to do. On some others (like ArchLinux or Gentoo) I had to add virtio in the ramdisk after install and before rebooting (otherwise it wouldn't find the virtual HD).
