[Users] windows 8 guest support

2013-01-16 Thread Jithin Raju
Hi All,

Windows 8 guest is supported in ovirt?
Any plan since it has some issues with qemu sata support.

Thanks,
Jithin

Hi Itamar,

I tried installing windows8 enterprise 32 bit as ovirt guest but bootloader
failed to load with error 0x5d .
host machine support vt  vt-d.
Same thing is happening while installing windows 8 in centos 6.2 host.
windows8 is not listed in guest support option in ovirt 3.1/rhel 6.3.

some google results showed that its because windows 8 is not supporting IDE.
There is no option for sata controller in any of the above virtualization
solutions.
If its happening due to some other thing could you please let me know the
how to make it work.


Thanks,
Jithin

first, please open a bug for not allowing IDE device for windows 8 
(2012?) OSs (since 3.2 added them to list of OSs).
second, ronen - are there community available virtio-block drivers for 
windows 8 Jithin can try to install with?
(Jithin, you would need to attach a virtual floppy (vfd) to the guest 
during guest OS install to provide it with the driver).







Thanks,
Jithin

I have same issue with Windows 8 32-bit.

HOWEVER! 64-bit does install fine and work well. No qxl driver will load
and no vsd process will run (wrong windows version error - working on git
source compile now).

Hi Itamar,

I tried floppy as well with virtio-win package.
Attaching vfd floppy may not help since for me even windows installer
itself is not starting.

Thanks,

Win8 support is premature, and we are still working on it. We will publish the 
drivers as usual once the drivers are ready.
