Today I merged the new release qemu-kvm-0.12.4-r3 and, o, wonder, I can use floppy and cd at the same time!

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 586420] Re: WinXP install cd hangs at boot time if machine started with floppy
@Jes: No, it doesn't boot on its own, it's a simple FAT formatted floppy image. I've even tried to format a real floppy on Windows, copied the drivers on it, and saved the whole floppy as an image with rawrite. I also tried other floppy images, but: QEMU 0.12.4 hangs if I try to boot from the Win2k3 install cd AND use a floppy image at the same time. If I boot from the Win2k8 install cd, it works fine. The install cd of Win2k3 isn't corrupted. It just can't be because I even tried it with an ISO image downloaded directly from MS. And both images boot up everywhere, as well on real machines as on VirtualBox. -- WinXP install cd hangs at boot time if machine started with floppy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/586420 You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU.

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 586420] Re: WinXP install cd hangs at boot time if machine started with floppy
I admit I used -L wrong, but that's not the issue. I don't need to specify it, because QEMU finds the right directory itself. My problem is, the installer CD hangs also if I add -hda/-hdb. The setup should be able to boot anyway, even without any hard drive. It's possible that the CD image could be damaged, but I used it since years and it booted in every real machine and also in VirtualBox. (I would like to try qemu.git, but it doesn't want to be compiled. Either it breaks up or it hangs up.) -- WinXP install cd hangs at boot time if machine started with floppy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/586420 You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU.

Works For Me (tm) with and without floppy image, with several versions of qemu-kvm and qemu, and using several different winXP install CD images (one is even pre-SP1). Just a wild guess: maybe you've something wrong in the floppy image that causes winXP to hang? I tried ms-dos-6.22 boot floppy and a blank (all-zeros) image. Or maybe it's of a wrong geometry/size, whatever... /mjt

Just to be sure I understand you 100% - what you are saying is that it works ok if you don't specify a floppy image? If that is the case, does this floppy image you are specifying boot on it's own? It could be corrupted. Cheers, Jes
[Qemu-devel] [Bug 586420] Re: WinXP install cd hangs at boot time if machine started with floppy
If you built your own qemu it may try to look for the BIOS in /usr/local/share/qemu and not where it was originally installed on your system. Could you please try to specify it with the -L option and see. You don't mention what system you are running on, it would likely be -L /usr/share/qemu-kvm or -L /usr/share/qemu but it depends on the system.

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 586420] Re: WinXP install cd hangs at boot time if machine started with floppy
I wrote already which system I use (see the third reply). It's Gentoo on AMD64 with the hardened no-multilib profile with qemu-kvm 0.12.4 and SeaBIOS 0.5.1. It isn't really my own build. Since I use Gentoo, it was compiled on my own computer and it's installed in /usr, not in /usr/local. Qemu only gives an error if I use the -L parameter. Still, I can't boot any Windows XP and 2003 install CD. It definitely hangs at boot time, it happens anything in the cpu registers, only EIP and EFL are changing between these values: Command line : qemu-kvm -L /usr/share/qemu/ -cdrom /srv/vm/win2k3srv.iso -fda /srv/vm/virtio.img -boot d -enable-kvm -monitor stdio (qemu) info kvm kvm support: enabled (qemu) info registers EAX= EBX=02fe ECX=0002 EDX=0040 ESI= EDI=0004 EBP=0010 ESP=02e4 EIP=e919 EFL=00033246 [---Z-P-] CPL=3 II=0 A20=1 SMM=0 HLT=0 ES =0040 0400 f300 CS =f000 000f f300 SS =9f40 0009f400 f300 DS =9f40 0009f400 f300 FS =230c 000230c0 f300 GS =230c 000230c0 f300 LDT= TR =0028 feffd000 2088 8b00 GDT= 0003f000 03ff IDT= CR0=0010 CR2= CR3=00039000 CR4= DR0= DR1= DR2= DR3= DR6=0ff0 DR7=0400 FCW=037f FSW= [ST=0] FTW=00 MXCSR= FPR0= FPR1= FPR2= FPR3= FPR4= FPR5= FPR6= FPR7= XMM00= XMM01= XMM02= XMM03= XMM04= XMM05= XMM06= XMM07= (qemu) info registers EAX= EBX=02fe ECX=0002 EDX=0040 ESI= EDI=0004 EBP=0010 ESP=02e4 EIP=e91a EFL=00023046 [---Z-P-] CPL=3 II=0 A20=1 SMM=0 HLT=0 ES =0040 0400 f300 CS =f000 000f f300 SS =9f40 0009f400 f300 DS =9f40 0009f400 f300 FS =230c 000230c0 f300 GS =230c 000230c0 f300 LDT= TR =0028 feffd000 2088 8b00 GDT= 0003f000 03ff IDT= CR0=0010 CR2= CR3=00039000 CR4= DR0= DR1= DR2= DR3= DR6=0ff0 DR7=0400 FCW=037f FSW= [ST=0] FTW=00 MXCSR= FPR0= FPR1= FPR2= FPR3= FPR4= FPR5= FPR6= FPR7= XMM00= XMM01= XMM02= XMM03= XMM04= XMM05= XMM06= XMM07= By the way, I have trouble to compile the newest code of qemu.git, but that could be more a bug related to Portage's tree.
