[Solved]Cannot load virtio module: "Bad line starting with 'options' "

Hi all,

I'm attempting to set up a virtual machine with KVM, following the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KVM

I noticed that the virtio module was not getting loaded at boot, so I tried following the example here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … e_handling

I created the following file

# /etc/modprobe.d/virtio.conf
# Load virtio
options virtio

I then run sudo modprobe virtio, and get the following error:

libkmod: kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/virtio.conf line 3: ignoring bad line starting with 'options'

What am I missing?

You aren't passing any options...

Aha. What is the correct syntax when I don't want to pass any options, I just want to force the module to be loaded? Simply removing "options" and leaving only "virtio" as the line generates an error  "...ignoring bad line starting with 'virtio' "

It's documented on the page you linked to:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … th_systemd

If that errors out, what is the output of `modprobe -v virtio`?

That worked great, thanks! Next time I'll try reading the whole page :-)
