Bug Description
Binary package hint: kvm
When rebooting a guest with virtio disks either by sending it Ctrl-Alt-Del in virt-manager or issuing a reboot from within the guest itself, the guest fails to find the disk on next boot. The error in the guest's console is:
Booting from Hard Disk... Boot from Hard Disk failed: could not read boot disk ...
FATAL: No bootable device
Destroying the guest and starting it again restores the guest to operation. If the type of disk is changed from "virtio" to "ide" then the reboot works without issue.
This thread from the linux-kvm list seems to explain the problem also: http://

kvm:
Installed: 1:72+dfsg-1ubuntu6
Candidate: 1:72+dfsg-1ubuntu6
Version table:
*** 1:72+dfsg-1ubuntu6 0
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot a guest that has been configured with virtio model disks
2. Reboot the guest
3. Change to ide model disks and boot/reboot. This should work fine.

Hello-
This bug has been fixed in upstream KVM. See git commit 77c125369426a51 9fb9ea92dc159fa 5ce392f354.
I've confirmed on a Jaunty host that I can boot a VM with: server. img,if= virtio, boot=on
$ kvm -drive file=intrepid-
And reboot it without a problem.
Thanks for the report!
