Re: [kvm-devel] Chaning disks from IDE to SCSI on a Windows VM
Jun, what happens when you boot into Windows' safe mode? It usually displays the drivers as it loads them. Would be interesting to see where it hangs. Also try this: * Boot with the IDE disk which works and the dummy SCSI disk attached as per Alberto's instructions * After you confirmed that the SCSI controller and disk are in device manager: delete the currently in use IDE controller from device manager * Reboot into the SCSI setup Good luck, Felix - This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.

That's it. If anyone can attest to this procedures and report, it would be greatly appreciated. I did try to do so But I do get an disk read error. kvm is invoked via qemu-system-x86_64 \ -m 768 \ -drive file=Vista.img,if=scsi,bus=0,index=0,media=disk,boot=on \ -net nic,model=e1000,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:$ifnum \ -net tap,ifname=$iface,script=no \ -k de \ -usb \ -usbdevice tablet \ -monitor stdio What's going wrong?

[kvm-devel] Chaning disks from IDE to SCSI on a Windows VM
Anthony Liguori provided patches that allowed booting from SCSI disks back in December of 2005. He also reported the following: I have successfully booted Linux, Win2k, and WinXP from SCSI with this patch. Windows takes a bit of prep work to be able to boot from SCSI. For win2k, you just need to make sure you have the right driver installed. WinXP, however, seems to require that it be installed on SCSI to boot from SCSI. If anyone knows how to modify WinXP after the fact, please let me know. I think I figured it out for both Windows XP and 2003 server. It's pretty straight forward. 1. Create a new HD image. It doesn't have to be very big (8 MB will do) and you don't have to format it. 2. Start the Windows VM and add this second hard drive to the VM: qemu-system-x86_64 -m 256 -hda hda.img \ -drive file=new.img,if=scsi,bus=0,index=0,media=disk,boot=off ... At this point, Windows should start, find the new drive, and install all the drivers for it. 3. Shut down the VM. This time, don't include the new temporary image from step 1 and define your disk(s) as SCSI disks: qemu-system-x86_64 -m 256 \ -drive file=hda.img,if=scsi,bus=0,index=0,media=disk,boot=off ... At this point, the Windows VM should boot from the SCSI drive without a blue screen. Verify that the drive is now a SCSI disk by going to the Device Manager and making sure the model of the hard drive includes the word SCSI. That's it. If anyone can attest to this procedures and report, it would be greatly appreciated. Along those lines, if anyone knows how to grab an existing Windows VM that was set up in VMware and make it run in Qemu (KVM), I would really, really appreciate it.
