The initial installation seems to install some drivers that get loaded early for your disk hardware. QEMU emulates a different type of hardware than what you probably have and so it can't find the root disk once the kernel has booted. If you change the main disk controller on a real machine, you'll probably have the same problem. I'm not aware of a way to fix that, unfortunately. I've generally had to install my windows images from scratch. -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> -- Fedora-xen mailing list Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
