Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kvm
This issue was reported already in bug 105195 (see comment 21) but that bug is a mess of different issues so I opened a new one. The issue here is that installing Windows XP directly on a LVM-managed block device fails while the installation into a file container works. The installation fails with "A disk read error occurred" after the first reboot (see comment 17 in the original bug, http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19436242/Screenshot-QEMU.png). I tried both virt-install and virt-manager (connecting with virt- viewer). I haven't tried if installing directly on an IDE block device fails as well (for obvious reasons). The following command fails: virt-install \ --connect qemu:///system --hvm \ -n xp \ -r 512 \ -f /dev/mapper/lvm-xp \ -c Images/ISO/en_winxp_pro_with_sp2.iso \ --os-type windows --os-variant winxp --arch x86_64 \ --vnc --noautoconsole While this succeeds: virt-install \ --connect qemu:///system --hvm \ -n xp \ -r 512 \ -f xp.img -s 12 \ -c Images/ISO/en_winxp_pro_with_sp2.iso \ --os-type windows --os-variant winxp --arch x86_64 \ --vnc --noautoconsole [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 8.10 Release: 8.10 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache policy kvm virt-manager libvirt-bin linux-image lvm2 kvm: Installed: 1:72+dfsg-1ubuntu6 Candidate: 1:72+dfsg-1ubuntu6 Version table: *** 1:72+dfsg-1ubuntu6 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status virt-manager: Installed: 0.5.4-2ubuntu1 Candidate: 0.5.4-2ubuntu1 Version table: *** 0.5.4-2ubuntu1 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status libvirt-bin: Installed: 0.4.4-3ubuntu3 Candidate: 0.4.4-3ubuntu3 Version table: *** 0.4.4-3ubuntu3 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status linux-image: Installed: (none) Candidate: 2.6.27.7.11 Version table: 2.6.27.7.11 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages lvm2: Installed: 2.02.39-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 2.02.39-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 2.02.39-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: kvm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- XP fails to install in KVM on a LVM block device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298056 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
