We can attach a virtual floppy during install containing the virtio block driver to be used by the win2k3/xp/2k8/vista installers.On Wed, Jul 15, 2009 at 12:38:14AM +0200, Laurent L?onard wrote: > Hi, > > What about Virtio support in Windows in virtinst OS dictionary ? > > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=535782 Would that be possible? The OS dictionary is (currently) only ever used for initial installation. The Windows VirtIO drivers can only be installed post-install.
The user would have to select the driver from a list when they get to the storage configuration screen in the installer but this works today.
So, AFAICT, it wouldn't be possible todo a install with virtio enabled in the os dictionary for Windows. Unless perhaps there's a way to provide them as a driver disk to the initial installer ? If we booted with a 2nd CDROM or floppy device containing the VirtIO drivers would the Windows installer be able to use that ? Daniel
