[Bug 1074460] Re: kvm: windows xp installation hangs after Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration
I experience this even today with Ubuntu Vivid. Anyone has a workaround (which not involves building QEMU/KVM from source)? My current qemu package version is 1:2.2+dfsg-5expubuntu9.2. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1074460 Title: kvm: windows xp installation hangs after Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/1074460/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Quoting Jamin W. Collins (jcoll...@asgardsrealm.net): You don't need a license to reproduce this. You only need to attempt to boot from installation media. I'll happily try upstream qemu, can't say that I've done it before. Any pointers? I usually do the following: git clone git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git cd qemu ./configure --target-list=i386-softmmu make cd i386-softmmu ./qemu-system-i386 qemu-args -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1074460 Title: kvm: windows xp installation hangs after Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/1074460/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Followed the steps provided and the current upstream source does not suffer from this issue.

Thanks for reporting this bug. I don't currently have a windows license available to reproduce. If you know how to build upstream qemu, are you able to reproduce this with that as well? ** Changed in: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium ** Changed in: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1074460 Title: kvm: windows xp installation hangs after Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/1074460/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

I did some further digging on this and it appears that it only happens when the virtual machine definition includes a floppy device, either via -drive or -fda. Removal of the floppy device results in being able to successfully boot and install Windows XP. However, this does seem to prevent one from providing the virtio drivers for storage during installation as the additional storage drivers are provided via floppy. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1074460 Title: kvm: windows xp installation hangs after Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/1074460/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
