Public bug reported:
I'm so close to moving away from VrtualBox to using Qemu. However I've
run into some issues converting my existing virtual machine from
VirtualBox to Qemu. I'm running Qemu on Fedora 16. I took my
windows_xp.vdi and tried to convert it to qemu. The conversion goes well
without any errors but then when I import the converted file to Qemu, it
won't start. Here is the info on the file that I'm trying to convert:
INFO
=====
$ qemu-img info windows_xp.vdi
image: windows_xp.vdi
file format: vdi
virtual size: 21G (22020096000 bytes)
disk size: 9.4G
cluster_size: 1048576
CONVERT COMMAND
==================
qemu-img convert windows_xp.vdi windows_xp.img
I created a new virtual machine and used the converted machine created (from
the above step).
When I try to start the newly created virtual machine, it keeps failing.
There is a blue screen of death that goes away too soon. and I'm stuck
with the windows start menu "safe mode, start normally " etc.. but no
matter what I do I can't seem to start the vm.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
