Hey all! Decided to try out making a windows 7 install just in case I needed it for school.
I downloaded a 64-bit windows 7 enterprise iso and proceeded with the
installation doing:
$ qvm-create win7 --hvm --label green #as in the qubes-docs
$ cp /var/lib/qubes/appvms/win7/win7.conf ~/ # to change xen to cirrus
for graphics
$ qvm-start --cdrom:dispXX:/home/user/Downloads/win7_sp1_64.iso
--custom-config=win7.conf
The first install went fine, I got it to boot up the first time and
tried to load the windows tools:
$ sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-windows-tools
$ qvm-start --custom-config=win7.conf --install-windows-tools
However, something messed up and it wouldn't get passed the start up
screen after that (I don't think it actually installed the windows tools
as I didn't see the disk show up). I tried using all the combinations
of commands I had for qvm-start before I gave up. I deleted it using
qvm-remove and retried to make the windows 7 hvm.
I followed the same steps above; however, when I got to the first
qvm-start I get the following:
--> Loading the VM (type = HVM)...
Traceback (most recent call last):

If I run the command without the --custom-config option it starts, and
hangs at startup as usual; so I'm guessing its a problem with my config?
