But have no luck. I am using Debian Lenny with kvm-72 Qemu version 0.9.1. But I think it's got something to do with setting the hard disk boot=on. I will give it a try using virt-install rather than using virt-manager(0.8.2) as my virt-manager does not allow to configure the VM before install. Thanx for letting me know that this can actually be done because I have been really confused with all these posts about signed drivers and what not.... this is much more straight forward for a newbie like me...

Were you using the ISO I linked above? I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid". Are you using an up-to-date distro? Perhaps there's some difference there. I was using Windows 2008 R2 without any problems.

At first it the disk is offline but then when it is brought online it says the computer bios may not allow booting from this device. Don't know if you have had any success with Windows Server 2008 R2 with these drivers. On Windows Sever 2008 R2 the driver is found but I cannot install OS on the VirtIO disk that is detected.
