[Bug 586175] Re: Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot
In qemu-kvm-0.12.5-r1 Windows XP/2003 is booting fine on IDE, but it hangs directly after the first reboot of the Windows setup if you try to install it on a viostor drive. Windows Vista and higher never had any problems in any version of qemu-kvm with any drive (IDE and viostor)... I'm using the binaries of viostor-1.11.1, which I got from this site: http://www.linux-kvm.com/content/latest-windows-virtio-drivers -- Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/586175 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 586175] Re: Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot
P.S.: I just read the link posted by Michael. I have also to mention that this boot problem not only appears by using the -drive parameter, even the good old -hda got this bug. I've also tried to correct some funny offsets in the NTFS header, but all offsets were already set to the right values. And it doesn't boot at all. -- Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/586175 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 586175] Re: Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot
This bug is annoying. I don't know who patched what but: 1. I finally was able (with version 0.12.5) to set up a WinXP installation which is able to boot on its own. 2. But this works only with IDE, if I try to use VirtIO I still can't boot the installation. 3. I just updated from 0.12.5 to 0.12.5-r1 and again I can't boot the WinXP installation on IDE. What the hell are you doing? I don't know what's wrong but qemu-kvm works with Windows Vista and above much better than with Windows XP atm. Windows Server 2008 boots on it's own even with the non-signed viostor drivers. -- Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/586175 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
