I created testvm.qcow (20GB) OK but then couldn't execute the next step..
# qemu -sda /home/kg/Desktop/openSUSE-10.3Alpha4-DVD-x86_64.iso -boot d
qemu: invalid option -- '-sda'
Note both my HDD and DVD-ROM (Burner) are SATA II devices.
Does qemu support SATA for both HDD and CDROM?
No, qemu emulates only IDE (see "man qemu" for list of emulated devices),
you have to use -hda option here...
Silly me I asked the wrong question again. I should have asked could qemu
access my SATA hadrware. :-)
As drives are emulated, you could try e.g "-cdrom /dev/sdc" to see if it
it will use it as an emulated cdrom and on a mounted filesystem
"qemu-img create -f <format> <mountpoint>/testvm.<format> <size>G",
testvm.<format> file being the emulated hda. "man qemu"
DESCRIPTION
The QEMU PC System emulator simulates the following peripherals:
- i440FX host PCI bridge and PIIX3 PCI to ISA bridge
- Cirrus CLGD 5446 PCI VGA card or dummy VGA card with Bochs
VESA extensions (hardware level, including all non standard modes).
- PS/2 mouse and keyboard
- 2 PCI IDE interfaces with hard disk and CD-ROM support
- Floppy disk
- NE2000 PCI network adapters
- Serial ports
- Creative SoundBlaster 16 sound card
- ENSONIQ AudioPCI ES1370 sound card
- Adlib(OPL2) - Yamaha YM3812 compatible chip
- PCI UHCI USB controller and a virtual USB hub.
SMP is supported with up to 255 CPUs.
Note that adlib is only available when QEMU was configured with
-enable-adlib
QEMU uses the PC BIOS from the Bochs project and the
Plex86/Bochs LGPL VGA BIOS.
Thanks anyway and the list may be interested to know I now have a litter of
Puppies (5 x puppy-2.16) on my desktop and still have 116MB of free physical
memory.
ASUS M2A-VM, openSUSE10.3A4, 2GB DDR RAM, Sata2 HDD & Sata2 Burner.
