The new drivers do seem to work, but there doesn't appear to be any direct way to install them so I can boot from virtio without taking a round-about approach.

What finally worked was: Make boot disk IDE Make a 2nd disk and call it virtio Boot XP and let the new hardware wizard ask about the new disk. Point it to the CDROM with the guest drivers and let it install the virtio disk driver. Now I can shutdown the XP KVM, fiddle the xml file to change the boot disk back to virtio and remove the 2nd dummy disk image. Finally I can boot from virtio (whew! :-). _______________________________________________ virt mailing list virt(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt
