qemu removed the option and grub still says unknown filesystem
Yes, we removed the old option long time ago. But I was really
worried about this unknown filesystem.
You can close the bug I don't think it's a really an useful scenario,
I was trying to boot my win7 partition with kvm using -snapshot, it wouldn't
work anyway
You're Very Wrong (tm).
lol
Lots of people do this all the time, me included. I've a dual-boot machine
(with windows and linux), and while I don't reboot into windows often, but
I do run it in qemu/kvm quite often, giving qemu my /dev/sda and choosing
to boot windows there.
It works just fine either way. It even keeps its activation (win7 OEM), because
I pass /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/SLIC to the guest, the same as this PC was
shipped with.
I ran _many_ systems initially installed on a bare metal in qemu/kvm, just
giving qemu their hdd directly (with or without -snapshot), and I run many
systems initially installed in qemu/kvm on bare metal, after copying their
hdd image to real hdd. Actually I installed all our windows machines at
office this way - initially in qemu, copying to hdd with all installed and
configured progs. All this without changing the systems in question in
any noticeable way -- with the exception that initial boot of windows in
"foreign" environment requires installing a compatible driver, which is,
for metal=>qemu case, either "generic IDE" or ahci/sata. Linux systems
works without any modifications at all.
As I already said, there's somethig wrong on your system. It shuoldn't
work (or, rather, fail) like this. It smells like a bug which I want to
find and fix.
Please tell me what to do, the command line in the bug report loads grub
correctly but then grub:
SeaBIOS (version 1.7.5-20140531_083030-gandalf)
iPXE (http://ipxe.org) 00:03.0 C980 PCI2.10 PnP PMM+3FF94B40+3FEF4B40 C980
Booting from Hard Disk...
error: unknown filesystem.
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue> ls (hd0,msdos3)/
error: unknown filesystem.
grub rescue>
but partition 3 is ext4, maybe because is mounted?
