Fedora 13 Beta - "Cannot Read HD" on WinXP & 2003 64bit Installs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I came across a message someone posted elsewhere at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/66135 while trying to
determine why Windows XP and 2003 guest machines are not installing
under Fedora 13 Beta. I would think others have run into this problem,
but see no discussion in the forums? I use the script below to do my
installs (mainly because Virt Manager never does the cache=writeback
part, which really speeds up the guest). I am getting it to format and
copy files, but after the reboot of the guest, I get "A disk read error
occurred" after it says "Booting from Hard Disk". Other guest types
(linux CentOS or Fedora for example) install fine.

virt-install -n xp64_1 -r 1024 --vcpus=1 --os-type=windows
--os-variant=winxp64 --sound --hvm --virt-type=kvm -c
/var/lib/libvirt/images/WINXPPRO64.iso --disk
path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/xp1_1.img,size=30,sparse=false,cache=writeb
ack --network network:default

I am running the following:

CPU:	Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad  CPU   Q9300  @ 2.50GHz
KVM:	QEMU PC emulator version 0.12.3 (qemu-kvm-0.12.3)
LIBVIRTD:	libvirtd (libvirt) 0.7.7
KERNEL:	2.6.33.2-41.fc13.x86_64
GUEST:	Windows XP 64 bit & Windows Server 2003 64 bit

Any thoughts?
