OK, doing here.
All my tryes to create an functional virtio initrd failed on kernel-PAE,
when system was booted as "ide" machine.
Boot success happened with kernel (non-PAE) and after boot I was able to
uninstall kernel-PAE and reinstall it. After this change there are all
required modules installed and kernel-PAE boot with virtio drivers (disk
and net).
Sorry, I'm a little confused - it's working okay for you now?
(Small tip for others, to check the contents of your initrd, do:
$> mkdir initrd-dump && cd initrd-dump
$> gzip -cd < /boot/initrd-foo.img | cpio -ivd
)
Cheers,
Mark.
