Hi,

GENERIC has

# VirtIO support
device          virtio          # Generic VirtIO bus (required)
device          virtio_pci      # VirtIO PCI device
device          vtnet           # VirtIO Ethernet device
device          virtio_blk      # VirtIO Block device
device          virtio_scsi     # VirtIO SCSI device
device          virtio_balloon  # VirtIO Memory Balloon device

Maybe it's just my OCD kicking in, but why is vtnet not named virtio_net?
That would be consistent with the other virtio device names.

Cheers,
Jos
