I'm trying to boot a KVM VM with Promox 2.1 that was restored from a Proxmox 1.9 installation. I've used the LSI rom workaround but I still get an error:

could not find /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0QEMU_QEMU_HARDDISK_scsi0-hd0-part1

Any ideas as to what I can do to troubleshoot further? The wiki page says that KVM 1.2rc2 doesn't require the workaround. Is that available in Proxmox now?
 
kvm 1.2 is available is pvetest repository, and indeed it boot scsi devices fine without lsi rom.

but maybe your problem is that disk id have change between the old qemu from proxmox 1.9 and new qemu from proxmox 2.1.

can you try to replace /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0QEMU_QEMU_HARDDISK_scsi0-hd0-part1 by /dev/sda1 ?
 
Haven't been able to get the grub menu to come up. I get to an OpenSuse boot menu instead.
 
I think I found it. Looks like changing the disk parameter to be /dev/sda1 might have worked.

Thanks for the help!
