[Qemu-devel] Boot Failure (CDROM boot failure code : 0004)

[Volkan YAZICI]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Windows Server 2003 Standard (x86-64) on a
machine which has AMD Turion 64 X2 processor. I compiled and installed
the qemu from source tarball using below commands:

  root:~# su - windows
  windows:~$ mkdir qemu; cd qemu
  windows:~/qemu$ wget http://bellard.org/qemu/qemu-0.9.1.tar.gz
  windows:~/qemu$ tar -zxf qemu-0.9.1.tar.gz; cd qemu-0.9.1
  windows:~/qemu/qemu-0.9.1$ ./configure --prefix=/home/windows/qemu
  windows:~/qemu/qemu-0.9.1$ make && make install

And then I create the appropriate disk images.

  windows:~$ dd of=/home/windows/disk-raw-20g.img \
  > bs=1024 seek=$[1024 * 1024 * 20] count=0
  windows:~$ qemu/bin/qemu-img create -f qcow disk-qcow-20g.img 20G
  windows:~$ qemu/bin/qemu-img create -f qcow2 disk-qcow2-20g.img 20G

When I try to boot Windows Server ISO image

  root:~# /home/windows/qemu/bin/qemu -boot d \
  > -cdrom /home/windows/windows-server-2003-standard-x86-64-sp2.iso \
  > -hda /home/windows/disk-qcow-20g.img \
  > -localtime -m 512 -L /home/windows/qemu/share/qemu

qemu complains that

  QEMU BIOS - build: 02/08/07
  $Revision: 1.174 $ $Date: 2006/10/17 16:48:05 $
  Options: apmbios pcibios eltorito rombios32

  ata0 master: QEMU HARDDISK ATA-7 Hard-Disk (20480 MBytes)
  ata1 master: QEMU CD-ROM ATAPI-4 Cd-Rom/Dvd-Rom

  CDROM boot failure code : 0004
  Boot from Cd-Rom failed
  FATAL: Could not read the boot disk

I also tried below combinations:

  1. -cdrom /dev/scd0
  2. -hda /home/windows/disk-qcow2-20g.img
  3. -hda /home/windows/disk-raw-20g.img

Besides qemu documentation, I read hundreds of blog posts, mailing list
threads, forum junks about this problem, but nothing useful. I'll be
really really appreciated if anybody can help me to solve the problem.


Regards.

P.S. Sorry for bugging developers' mailing list, but forum
