[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1155403] Re: virtio cdrom detected as hard disk

[Phillip Susi]

It seems the installer does not consider virtio devices when doing its
search.  It also seems the installer does not have the virtio-scsi
module, and it seems a bit wasteful to go through a layer of scsi
emulation.

Shouldn't qemu at least warn you that the media=argument does nothing on
virtio devices instead of silently ignoring it?  Or better yet,
shouldn't it automatically use virtio-scsi instead?

Title:
  virtio cdrom detected as hard disk

Status in QEMU:
  Invalid
Status in “qemu” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Trying to install Ubuntu or Debian using virtio to emulate the cdrom
  fails.  This appears to be due to the drive appearing to be a hard
  disk, rather than a cdrom, despite the media=cdrom argument to qemu.

  I'm not sure if this is a bug in qemu, or the kernel virtio driver?
