hi.
i want to install windows 8 in an hvm (so i can update it).
but somehow i can't start the vm with an iso. (see output below)
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-start w8 --cdrom=data:/home/user/w8.iso
--> Loading the VM (type = HVM)...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/qvm-start", line 131, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/bin/qvm-start", line 115, in main
xid = vm.start(verbose=options.verbose,
preparing_dvm=options.preparing_dvm, start_guid=not options.noguid,
notify_function=tray_notify_generic if options.tray else None)
File
"/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/qubes/modules/01QubesHVm.py", line
326, in start
return super(QubesHVm, self).start(*args, **kwargs)
File
"/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/qubes/modules/000QubesVm.py", line
1901, in start
self.libvirt_domain.createWithFlags(libvirt.VIR_DOMAIN_START_PAUSED)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 1059, in
createWithFlags
if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreateWithFlags()
failed', dom=self)
libvirt.libvirtError: internal error: libxenlight failed to create new
domain 'w8'
what am i doing wrong?
i tried different isos, but the error is the same.
i get the same error, if i try to attach a nonexistent file. (but
starting the vm without an iso works (the vm starts and then shuts down,
since there is no bootable medium))
any idea how i can fix this?
