[arch-general] Qemu / KVM 9p rootfs not booting automatically

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

Bailing out, you are on your own. Good luck.
