I'm fine with the patch. But can you expand on what "pvscsi" is, what<br>
advantages there is for an user to enable it, what hypervisors support<br>
it, etc. Ideally this info would be in the Kconfig menu as well.<br></blockquote><div>Hi, </div><div>I was thinking about writing similar to this in the Kconfig help item. What do you think ?</div><div>If this is ok I will resend the patch</div>

Support boot from Paravirtualized SCSI storage. This kind of storage</div><div> is mainly supported by VMware ESX hypervisor. It is commonly used</div><div> to allow fast storage access by communicating directly with the</div>
