Couldn't get ip address with virtio driver on kvm

[Philip Z]

I tried to run the most recent official android-x86 with virtio driver on kvm, but it couldn't get the ip address. I ran in the debug mode and dhcp timedout. Here are the screen shots of the outputs:

I think the version has the virtio drivers.

I ran qemu with the following command:

# qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 4G -hda naugat-pre.img -vga std -netdev type=tap,script=no,id=net0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0

If I ran without virtio driver, it can get ip address successfully, like

# qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 4G -hda naugat-pre.img -vga std -netdev

Any idea how I can debug this problem? Or any steps or configs that I'm missing?

Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks!

Philip

So why not just run it without the virtio driver?

I'm trying to run it on a cloud platform, which uses virtio.
Is there anyway I can get around this?
Is virtio supported? Thanks!

I use these options:

-netdev user,id=net0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0

No problem to get IP.

Thanks, Chih-Wei!

That works on my own system. However, it still doesn't work to let android-x86 get its IP address on Aliyun. Do you have any idea how to get around this? Let me know if you need more details.

Thanks,
