virtio_net works well, but I have trouble to boot from virtio_blk.
I can add second disk as virto block device, but I can't boot from
first disk.
When switching from IDE to virtio, you need to first build a new initrd
in the guest with e.g.:
$> mkinitrd --with virtio_pci --with virtio_blk -f /boot/initrd-$(kernelversion)
$(kernelversion)
You only need to do this once. After that, if a new kernel is installed
while you're booted off a virtio disk, then mkinitrd will include the
modules automatically.
