Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kvm
Trying to install win2k server on the KVM84 backport for hardy. Command
line used:
sudo virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n win2ksmptest -r 512 -f
windows.qcow2 -s 10 -c /home/yhamon/win2000server.iso --vnc
--noautoconsole --os-type windows --os-variant win2k --accelerate
On hardy with kvm62, and following the advice on the official linux-
kvm.org website, you need to convert your image to qcow2 after the first
part of the boot:
sudo qemu-img convert ./windows.qcow2 -O qcow2 windows.qcow2.tmp
sudo rm ./windows.qcow2
sudo mv ./windows.qcow2.tmp ./windows.qcow2
And then restart the VM. This works in Hardy with kvm62, but doesn't in
Hardy with kvm84: an error comes on the guest saying the disk isn't
readable, and the VM won't boot.
** Affects: kvm (Ubuntu)
