I have compiled a new linux kernel with CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=y. But it doesn't
boot and kernel panics. To kernel command line i tried passing
root=/dev/vda and root=/dev/vda1 but same kernel panic comes every time.
VIRTIO_NET was working fine when VIRTIO_BLK was not enabled and VM booted
up fine. But with virtio-blk i see the below kernel panic. Can someone
please suggest what could be going wrong?

VFS: Cannot open root device "vda" or unknown-block(253,0)^M
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available
partitions:^M
fd00         8388608 vda  driver: virtio_blk^M
  fd01         7340032 vda1
00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000^M

  fd02          512000 vda2 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000^M
  fd03          535552 vda3 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000^M
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(253,0)^M
