[Qemu-devel] [Bug 586175] Re: Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot

This bug is annoying. I don't know who patched what but:

1. I finally was able (with version 0.12.5) to set up a WinXP
installation which is able to boot on its own.

2. But this works only with IDE, if I try to use VirtIO I still can't
boot the installation.

3. I just updated from 0.12.5 to 0.12.5-r1 and again I can't boot the
WinXP installation on IDE.

What the hell are you doing?

I don't know what's wrong but qemu-kvm works with Windows Vista and
above much better than with Windows XP atm. Windows Server 2008 boots on
it's own even with the non-signed viostor drivers.

Bug description:
Hello everyone,

my qemu doesn't boot any Windows XP/2003 installations if I try to boot the 
image.
If I boot the install cd first, it's boot manager counts down and triggers the 
boot on it's own. That's kinda stupid.

I'm using libvirt, but even by a simple
> qemu-kvm -drive file=image.img,media=disk,if=ide,boot=on
it won't boot. Qemu hangs at the message "Booting from Hard Disk..."

I'm using qemu-kvm-0.12.4 with SeaBIOS 0.5.1 on Gentoo (No-Multilib and AMD64). 
It's a server, that means I'm using VNC as the primary graphic output but i 
don't think it should be an issue.
