[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.
