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.

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 586175] Re: Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot
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 0.12.5-r1 and again I can't boot the WinXP installation on IDE. What the hell are you doing? I don't know what's wrong but qemu-kvm works with Windows Vista and above much better than with Windows XP atm.

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.

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 586175] Re: Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot
Hi Andy When i look at your w7 partition table output, then there seems to be a problem with start/end cylinders. Your first partitions last cylinder is 13, but also the start cylinder of your second partition is 13. two partitions should not share the same cylinder/sector! Something seems to be messed up. I would create a loop device and then use a deep scan with testdisk on that loop device. May be it's possible to correct the wrong entrys in the partition table.

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 586175] Re: Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot
Andreas, The program that created the disk image seems confused, but it worked for creating a VM for FC11. Windows install seems to run fine, until wanting to boot from the drive it created. I don't know what creates the drive image and geometry, but it is broken. I think this is what I used to create the VM, but I have messed around with so many configurations and methods, I'm not sure what is what anymore. virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n w7 -r 2048 --vcpus=2 \ --disk path=/vm/w7.img,size=20,sparse=false,format=qcow2 \ -c /vm/w7cd.iso --vnc --noautoconsole \ --os-type windows --os-variant win7 --accelerate --network=bridge:br0 --hvm How many thousands of people have struggled with this and also got nowhere? It just looks like the virt-install developers have not tasted their own dogfood! LVM is supposed to be easy - just select vm image and boot, but the more I read about VMs, kvm, qemu, virtualbox, virsh etc, the more confused I get on how they relate to each other. testdisk reports this: ~~ Disk /dev/loop0 - 21 GB / 20 GiB - CHS 41943040 1 1 (wtf ??)

Little Howto: Asume: A raw complete harddisc image within a bootable NTFS partition with XP or 2k3 on it Incident: when using these image with kvm based qemu, the system wan't boot anymore solution: 1) set up the whole discimage as a loop device - losetup /dev/loop0 /path/to/my/diskimage.raw 2) let kpartx create drive mappings for all partitions within the loop device - kpartx -a /dev/loop0 3) you need to know on which partition your NTFS partition resides - fdisk -l /dev/loop0 4) use the right partition mapping with hex-edit (eg. partition 1) - hexedit /dev/mapper/loop0p1 5) look on hex position 0x1a, for the count of heads NTFS asumes - in hexedit type enter and then 1A 6) change the value to 0xFF - in hexedit type FF 7) save and exit hexedit - press Ctrl+X to end 8) remove the partition mappings - kpartx -d /dev/loop0 9) remove loop device - losetup -d /dev/loop0 Hope that helps Cheers Andreas -- Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/586175 You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU.

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 586175] Re: Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot
I have this problem as well. I'm installing using a slightly different situation -- I'm restoring a WinXP/Win2k3 backup that was made with fsarchiver -- but essentially I run across the same issue namely that boot fails when mbr tries to boot the first partition. In my case I use install-mbr from the mbr package but have also tried to install the windows mbr from the boot cd without success. Here are the steps I've taken and the partial fix I've discovered. First, let me say that these steps worked perfectly in 9.10. In fact, I can move the raw image from 9.10 to 10.04 and boot it without problem. That was initially how I got these restores to work; I installed on a Karmic laptop and moved the raw image to Lucid. Install Notes: Install Procedure (for karmic or lucid): 1. boot system to image to rescuecd and backup xp or win2k3 using fsarchiver: fsarchiver savefs /some/remote/location/win.fsa /dev/sda1 2. on kvm host create restore disk: lvcreate -L10GB -n win vg 3. boot virt with rescuecd kvm -m 1024 -cdrom rescuecd.iso -hda /dev/vg/win -boot d 3. partition disk (entire disk, one partition, active): fdisk /dev/sda commands: o n p 1 [] [] t 7 a 1 w 4. restore archive: fsarchiver restfs win.fsa id=0,dest=/dev/mapper/vg-winp1 5. install mbr: install-mbr /dev/sda 6. halt virt and reboot to image: kvm -m 1024 -hda /dev/vg/win At this point, the image will boot in 9.10. But following the same steps in lucid it will hang after the mbr boots the first partition. I tried everything I could think of and all the different steps found on the web including repairing the mbr changing disk types and boot options to no avail. What was odd for me is that the resulting image created on karmic would boot on lucid which indicated to me that once the install was completed successfully whatever kvm was doing didn't matter -- it was just the creation of the mbr or file system in the kvm boot that was at fault. My next step at this point was to install hexedit and compare the two resulting images. Specifically, the mbr at the beginning of the disk and the ntfs partition starting at sector 63. On the net there is some talk about changing 0x7E1A to 'FF' -- which is supposed to indicate disk geometry of the ntfs partition. There were three values that were different at this point in the ntfs file region -- 0x8E18, 0x7E1A, and 0x7E1C. The first two did not seem to have any effect. But changing 0x7E1C to the value of '3F' would result in the image booting properly. Evidently this is the part of the NTFS file system that records the starting sector of the partition. This change successfully booted all my test cases restores with a single partition. OK, so at this point I backtracked and did just steps 1-4 on both Karmic and Lucid but instead of booting to a rescuecd in the virt I used kpartx to mount the raw file system: 1. make backup fsarchiver savefs win.fsa /dev/sda1 2. create disk lvcreate -L10GB -n win vg 3. partition fdisk /dev/vg/win 4. mount to loop, restore, detach kpartx -av /dev/vg/win fsarchiver restfs win.fsa id=0,dest=/dev/mapper/vg-winp1 kpartx -dv /dev/loop0 5. install mbr install-mbr /dev/vg/win At this point, unfortunately, these steps will not boot on either karmic or lucid -- the boot section of the ntfs partition does not seem to write correctly (0x8E18, 0x7E1A, and 0x7E1C are all '00'). However, if you change 0x7E1C to '3F', these resulting images will boot fine: 6. after hexedit, boot, success kvm -m 1024 -hda /dev/vg/win Hope this helps track down this issue. My feeling here is that this is not an issue with the mbr but rather the creation of the ntfs file system. And it does seem that the disk geometry presented by the version of kvm in lucid is different enough from karmic to cause the ntfs file system incorrectly write sector 0x7E1C thus causing the resulting image to hang at boot. -- Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/586175 You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU.

Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot

Hello everyone,
my qemu doesn't boot any Windows XP/2003 installations if I try to boot the
image.
If I boot the install cd first, it's boot manager counts down and triggers the
boot on it's own. That's kinda stupid.
I'm using libvirt, but even by a simple
qemu-kvm -drive file=image.img,media=disk,if=ide,boot=on
it won't boot. Qemu hangs at the message Booting from Hard Disk...
I'm using qemu-kvm-0.12.4 with SeaBIOS 0.5.1 on Gentoo (No-Multilib and AMD64).
It's a server, that means I'm using VNC as the primary graphic output but i
don't think it should be an issue.

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 586175] Re: Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot
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: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=579348 Also interesting, if I use a raw image instead of a vdi image, the workaround (booting the install cd and let it hand over to the installed windows) doesn't work anymore. Now I'll set up another machine with gentoo and try all combinations of image file types, Windozes ( NT 6.0) and qemu options and I'll report the results. -- Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/586175 You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU.

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 586175] Re: Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot
It sounds like this is an existing image that you can't boot from. I can create a new 2k3 VM with upstream qemu and boot it again after install with no issues. So I'm wondering if you can also do this. If so, then something happened to your existing image (maybe some sort of corruption of the boot sector ?). -- Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/586175 You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU.

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 loader has a problem with the drive.
