Hi,
I’m trying to PXE boot from qemu a CentOS-8 initrd, but despite I set rd.neednet=1, the virtio_net module is not loaded and the interface is not brought up. If I modprobe it by hand, it brings an eth0 interface.
My initrd was created using dracut that includes network, qemu and qemu-net modules Qemu is started with EFI bios and vritio ethernet emulation
Questions are:
* Is it a known bug/ issue? * What Am I missing? * Lspci does see the Red Hat, Inc. Virtio network device, but nothing triggers the module load (virtio_net) * After doing modprobe virtio_net, the interface is named eth0 (it seems that it doesn’t follow the modern network device naming scheme)
Before reporting a bug, I want to make sure that I’m not missing something.
Regards,
Olivier. -- Olivier LAHAYE
