when I start a VM in KVM from a VHD format image with guest os installed in
it, which was create by vhd-util of Xen blktap2,  is failed too:
root at SS01 # /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -m 2048 -hda
/guest/SS_test/vhd/WindowsServer2008-x64.vhd -localtime -vnc
10.250.6.31:11--daemonize
qemu: could not open disk image /guest/SS_test/vhd/WindowsServer2008-x64.vhd
