Using IDE boot disk, no problem. Win2008 (64bit) works without any problems - 6 gb ram in the guest.
After successful booting IDE, I added a second disk using SCSI: windows see the disk but cannot initialize the disk. So SCSI looks quite unusable if you run windows guest (win2003 sp2 also stops during install), or should we load any SCSI driver during setup? Win2008 uses LSI Logic 8953U PCI SCSI Adapter, 53C895A Device (LSI Logic Driver 4.16.6.0, signed) Any other expierences running SCSI on windows?
