Now that I finally got W2K installed as a guest, I’m moving on to
Vista. The initial setup and config worked and the Vista install
booted from CDROM and transferred files to the harddrive. After reboot
there is just a blank black screen, which is very similar to the W2K
install. With W2K I worked around it by hitting F5 and selecting
Standard PC. With Vista there is no such option.
I transferred the ISO to disk and added it to my config file. When I
create the guest and it tries to boot I get this error:
Boot from Hard Disk 0 failed
FATAL: not a bootable disk
You might try running xm with boot from CD.
xm create vistavirt1 boot=d
I've been trying to install Win98SE, and the startup claims it can't
find a driver for the CD. My file looks just about like your, I get
asked to boot from disk or CD, then after a few screens it says it can't
find a CD driver. I'm about to switch to vmware, even if I have to run
Windows. Also tried:
phy:/dev/dvd,hdc:c,r
with no more luck.
The install used to run slowly under qemu, and the operative word there
is "run," I spent a bunch on a big new hvm capable server, and I can't
install the things I need to test.
