VM guest will not boot after changing drive type from IDE to VIRTIO

[grin]

There's a thread in the old readonly forum parts:

https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/k...-changing-drive-type-from-ide-to-virtio.4787/

This doesn't seem to be fixed.

I have created a VM, added a sata disk, booted, stopped, added a virtio disk, deactivated the sata disk (haven't removed it, just deassigned from sata0), tried to boot, got netboot. Removed disk, got netboot.
/etc/pve/qemu-server/666.conf contained:
bootdisk: sata0
(sata0 didn't exist at that point)
I have changed it manually to virtio0 and it works.

yes, you need to change it in vm options (available in gui too)
