[Bug 105195] Re: kvm can not run Windows XP
Okay, I've spent the day working with pmatulis on this bug. We've been using the kvm-84 backport candidate from the ~ubuntu-virt PPA. On Jaunty and Karmic, I'm able to install WindowsXP using virt-manager and libvirt without a problem. On Hardy, I am not able to complete the installation using virt-manager and libvirt. I am able to make it through the first stage of the installer (blue, text screen). However, on reboot, the disk image is not bootable. I get an error stating that A disk read error occured, and that I need to hit ctrl-alt-delete. However, on Hardy, I am able to install Windows XP without a problem using kvm directly from the command line: $ kvm-image create -f qcow2 xp.img 7G $ kvm -m 512 -hda xp.img -cdrom xp.iso -boot d (first stage of installation, shutdown at reboot) $ kvm -m 512 -hda xp.img -cdrom xp.iso -boot c (finish installation) Thus, I strongly suspect that the bug is in either virt-manager or libvirt in Hardy. :-Dustin -- kvm can not run Windows XP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105195 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

Well i have a workaround that will work for everyone i hope. 1: make a service .img with xp/win2k3 install. Minimal one. You can do it on your machine. 2: copy it over to server and attach all the partitions or .img files you will need to it. 2: boot it. It will give some acpi errors(mine did), ignore it. 3: Format everything you need using this machine. I had a glitch here: i had to format partition with assigned letter. If there was no assigned letter(D:, E: you name it) formatting ended with error. For me making partition and immediately adding letter + formatting it from the same wizard worked best.

Confirming this bug on Intrepid 64-bit with kvm_intel. Tried Windows XP SP1, Windows 2003 Standard R2 and Windows 2000 SP4. Installer starts fine, after first reboot: A disk read error occured. Tried to convert a vmdk file to qcow (with qemu-img) hosting a Windows XP machine. Loader starts but immediately reboot. But the point is that the loader is found on the disk as it let's me boot in Safe Mode. Using this converted disk file let me re-install Windows XP without breaking a sweat.

I got around this by installing with kvm, format the drive, then boot with virt-manager and do the installation without formating the drive. kvm -m 512 -hda winxp.qcow2 -cdrom xp_sp2.iso -boot d just format the drive then boot with virt manager, do NOT format the drive, choose leave file system as it is. Of course, you either need to do this from the local machine (if you have a gui loaded) or you'll have to get x-forwarding working across your ssh connection. I did it from the local machine.

[Bug 105195] Re: kvm can not run Windows XP
Start the vm with this command change to suit your setup kvm -m 512 -hda winxp.qcow2 -cdrom xp_sp2.iso -boot d As you can see, we're booting from a cdrom image. During the windows install, you have a chance to choose the partition your installing to, then you choose to format that partition. Right after the format, you can stop the installation and quit the vm. Now you start the vm with virt-manager, booting from the cdrom and go thru the installation a second time. This time, you choose the partition you made but DO NOT FORMAT IT, choose leave file system as it is. From there, it's a normal installation. Note: If you finish the install from the kvm command rather than the virt-manager, windows will likely not boot thereafter from virt-manager. However, that's no problem, you can re-install over it WITHOUT formating. The virt-manager partitioning/formatting seems to be the issue.. -- kvm can not run Windows XP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105195 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

I had an XP qcow image which I had working under Feisty but found with Gutsy that it would crash after the login screen appears. Eventually, when trying out Hardy Alpha5 I did some more digging and, when trying to do screen captures when the bluescreen appears, found this message: Intelppm.sys, DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANCELLING_PENDING_OPERATIONS, This site : http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2005/10/24/484461.aspx suggested booting into Safemode and executing commands such as: sc config intelppm start= disabled I had to do this a couple of for iterations because other drivers were also incompatible. Hopes this helps with people having similar problems.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu.
