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)...

[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. Windows Server 2008 boots on it's own even with the non-signed viostor drivers. -- Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/586175 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- 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

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.

[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.

[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 ??)

I run into the same problem, but the workaround regarding editing the number of heads in the ntfs partition boot sector did it for me. 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 Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- 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
