With CVS from May 28 Vista install boots.

But now i got another problem: During extraction of files install  
stops with an unknown hardware error.

Is there a size limit for -cdrom files? The install DVD is about 3,3GB.

Yes you do need ACPI to get the .iso to boot. I tried it and it  
failed. You also need 512M of ram and the ability to accept that  
your PC will BSOD often :-)

Vista is well known for their problems on formatting step with a

In their developer's page they say to format the virtual disk first

ok, I'll try that. But I also suspect a win32/mingw limitation on files
bigger than 2Gb, since gcc -dumpspecs does not show anything
related to -m64, which I'd expect to have to add to CFLAGS to
be able to use iso or qcow images bigger than 2Gb.

Apparently, experimental build of cygwin may carry 64 bits capable
gcc+binutils (I'll try that too)

-m64 has nothing to do with large file support.

Re: RE : Re: [Qemu-devel] Windows Vista

2006-06-09 Thread Natalia Portillo
I used a precompiled binary that is on the google for installing a  
full opensuse 10 and made a 7gb qcow with no problem at all.


However,
try to do a dd=/dev/zero to grow the qcow first or so.

just, are you in NTFS xD?

Apparently, experimental build of cygwin may carry 64 bits capable
gcc+binutils (I'll try that too)

Vista is well known for their problems on formatting step with a
variety of emulators.
In their developer's page they say to format the virtual disk first
with XP for use of vista under VPC.

 Vista complains it can't use it. I'm using a win32/mingw
 home-made compilation. Vista needs at least 6.7Gb

 Is this a 64 bits limitation on win32/mingw ? how can
 we get past it ? suggestions are welcome

2006-06-09 Thread René Korthaus


On Mac OS X host Windows XP does refuse to install on a qcow image  
but raw images work.
I haven't tried, but I think it's the same with Vista. Installing in  
a raw image works fine.

true. I just noticed in qemu makefiles all large file support are already in.
I guess I need to try with a big raw image...
