In qemu-kvm-0.12.5-r1 Windows XP/2003 is booting fine on IDE, but it
hangs directly after the first reboot of the Windows setup if you try to
install it on a viostor drive. Windows Vista and higher never had any
problems in any version of qemu-kvm with any drive (IDE and viostor)...
I'm using the
This bug is annoying. I don't know who patched what but:
1. I finally was able (with version 0.12.5) to set up a WinXP
installation which is able to boot on its own.
2. But this works only with IDE, if I try to use VirtIO I still can't
boot the installation.
3. I just updated from 0.12.5 to
P.S.: I just read the link posted by Michael.
I have also to mention that this boot problem not only appears by using
the -drive parameter, even the good old -hda got this bug.
I've also tried to correct some funny offsets in the NTFS header, but
all offsets were already set to the right values.
I have to correct myself.
Booting from Windows XP/2003 after the first reboot of the Windows setup
is still impossible (without booting from the install CD at first).
I tried both the command line used by libvirt and the following one:
qemu-kvm -hda thisfile -cdrom thatfile -boot c
Also, I
I agree to #10. Today I installed qemu-kvm-0.12.4-r3 and I still can't
boot Windows XP/2003 without booting the install cd at first.
But now: After I tried to boot the Windows installation I get the same
odd char in the screen as described by #10. Plus, I can install Windows
without problems, but
P.S.: Of course I can't boot Windows XP/2003 from a VirtIO drive at all,
because the install cd only checks the IDE bus for an existing Windows
installation...

Long time no post, i tried to install Win2k3 through RIS/PXE this time.
I still get the same error at boot time: A disk read error occurred.
Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart.
Neither the Win2k3 install source nor the VirtIO drivers are defective.
Something's just wrong with QEMU.

No, it doesn't boot on its own, it's a simple FAT formatted floppy

drivers on it, and saved the whole floppy as an image with rawrite. I
also tried other floppy images, but:

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

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.

Do you mean, I should try to install and boot Win2k3 without libvirt?
If I install Windows through libvirt and boot it with a simple command line like
qemu-kvm -hda /someimage.img -enable-kvm
it doesn't boot.
It's in fact this bug, just like Cole meant:
Well, I tried your command line and I've got the bug qemu: could not
load PC BIOS 'bios.bin'
It seems something went wrong with my compiled qemu. I'll try qemu.git
now.

It's a very strange bug.
Starting qemu without boot=on results in the same dilemma.
But: I've used a .vdi image (because qcow2 is terribly slow).
Just now I tried a raw image. Now I can boot neither directly from the image
nor with the install cd. Both ways boot finally NTLDR, but now the

Hello everyone,
my qemu doesn't boot any Windows XP/2003 installations if I try to boot the

If I boot the install cd first, it's boot manager counts down and triggers the
