I also tested Windows Server 2012 R2 with UEFI / OVMF instead of BIOS. This installed without issue with qxl. The guest just used a generic display driver until I could install the qxl one built by Fedora project.
Shouldn't the Windows 7 guest on BIOS behave the same way? It's kind of hard to install display drivers when you *can't even boot the Windows setup DVD.* Or are you saying that, by design, qxl can't be used with clients that use generic VGA/VESA display modes? (but how did I get to the point of seeing BIOS load screen, and then "Starting Windows" which is certainly using some kind of VESA mode?) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1585008 Title: Windows 7 guests hang on bootup when qxl video is used To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1585008/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
