Trying to Run Slackware 13.7 as guest on KVM

[baboo]

I am running 1.8 with 2.6.38 kernel. All my guests have been Slackware. However, since I upgraded to 1.8 I cannot boot a Slackware install. Slackware does not see the partitions as /dev/vda. So, after install but before rebooting I 'chroot /mnt' and make modifications to kernel and lilo for boot. However, it just want boot.

I am wondering if something in the 1.8 release having to do with virtio drivers is the cause? Proxmox has been working just great, so no complaints there. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

2.6.38 is not a Proxmox VE kernel - switch to a Proxmox kernel, post your 'pveversion -v' and try again - if you fail I will try to reproduce the issue if you give full details, e.g. your VMID.conf and the uses iso image (slackware).
