The stoney cloud contains drivers needed to run in a virtualized environment, namely Qemu/KVM, but the initial ramdisk does not load them automatically. Therefore some manual work is needed to successfully boot a fresh installation inside Qemu/KVM.
Therefore, when booting == Before finishing the installed stoney cloud, one has to edit the kernel commandline:installation ==
When being asked <code>Do you want to reboot your system?</code> switch to a second console and do this:
<source lang='bash'>
vim /mnt/osbd/boot/grub/grub.conf
# append the following to the two lines starting with "kernel":
# doload=virtio_pci,virtio_blk
</source>
This will make sure that the initial ramdisk loads the required virtio-drivers during boot.
== After having finished the installation ==
Even if you already finished the installation and rebooted, there is a way to boot your installation:
When you get the GRUB boot screen:
* press <code>e</code> on the already selected boot line
* use the arrow keys to navigate to the entry starting with <code>kernel /kernel ...</code> and press <code>e</code> again
mount /boot
vim /boot/grub/grub.conf
# now append the following to the two lines starting with "kernel":# doload=virtio_pci,virtio_blk to both kernel entries
</source>
