Hi
I'm trying to paravirtualize my archs.
Therefore I've created a directory and fill it with
`pacstrap -d /root/arch base`
After that I've chrooted into
`arch-chroot /root/arch /bin/bash`
Inside I've changed the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf MODULES="9p 9pnet virtio virtio_blk virtio_pci virtio_net" HOOKS="base udev block autodetect modconf filesystems keyboard fsck"
(Don't know if all the stuff is necessary)
I've saved that file and run
`mkinitcpio -p linux`
I've exit chroot and start vm on the host system
qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel "/root/arch/boot/vmlinuz-linux" \ -initrd "/root/arch/boot/initramfs-linux.img" \ -virtfs local,id=r,path=/root/arch,mount_tag=r,security_model=passthrough \ -device virtio-9p-pci,fsdev=r,mount_tag=r \ -enable-kvm \ -nographic \ -append 'root=r rw rootfstype=9p rootflags=trans=virtio console=ttyS0'
As you can see it drops a recovery shell. But I can survive ... i think the same way the parameter append does. I don't know why this does not work automatically!?
Any hints?
Thanks

Kernel parameter root= appears to be missing. Unless you know for absolutely certain that the early userspace is capable to figure out the root partition on its own, you'd rather put it into your bootloader's config.

Thanks but I don't have any bootloader config nor need any[1]. The parameter should handle anything initramfs needs
-append 'root=r rw rootfstype=9p rootflags=trans=virtio console=ttyS0'
In my opinion with `root=r` it defines root, where `r` is the mount_tag:
` -virtfs local,id=r,path=/root/arch,security_model=passthrough,mount_tag=r,'
the mountpoint is /root/arch (on the hostsystem)
On the recovery shell I can type
mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio r new_root/
and `r` does exactly what I want, it mounts `r` which is /root/arch on the host system to the `new_root` directory as a VirtFs Filesystem.
So I don't know why I does not find `r` by itself: ERROR: device 'r' not found. Skipping fsck. ERROR: Unable to find root device 'r'.
Do I have to 'swap' anything in here? MODULES="9p 9pnet virtio virtio_blk virtio_pci virtio_net" HOOKS="base udev block autodetect modconf filesystems keyboard fsck"
[1] (see section Can 9p used as root file system?) http://blog.allenx.org/2015/07/03/virtio-9p-note/

Hi, sorry for the late response, but I wasn't sure this fit.
ERROR: device 'r' not found. Skipping fsck. ERROR: Unable to find root device 'r'.
You seem more knowledgeable than me about this, but I found a similar problem in Gentoo whose responses may be of use: https://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org/msg157987.html
In there, too, often I find that mounting manually works, it doesn't find the root device right automatically.
Although the problems are different, they might have a similar solution. Maybe you should try the suggestion of creating your initramfs manually?
Hope this helps, João Miguel
