Hi,

I am currently playing with qemu-kvm and a Archlinux guest, and I had some troubles to install Arch on a virtio block device.
The device is in /dev and usable, but AIF doesn't show it, because a virtio device appears as /dev/vd*

I modified the file /usr/lib/aif/core/libs/lib-blockdevice.sh (not sure about the name), the part with egrep '^sd', in egrep '^[sv]d', and then I was able to install Arch.
This task depends upon

Thanks for the report and fix Vincent.
I committed it to git: http://projects.archlinux.org/aif.git/commit/?id=f7aa729579c4f81392446a9a775376f8438ab776
This will soon end up in an updated AIF package / new release media.
