[Qemu-devel] How to perform Win8/Fed18/Ubuntu12.4 installation on target connected to QEMU + OVMF system?

[baban devkate]

Hello Experts,

Performed following trial and errors for OS installation/boot, but no luck so far

1# windows 8 installation on NVMe Namespace partition with GPT formatting done manually

-it’s giving error and unable to complete the installation

 

2# windows 8 installation on QEMU ATA partition and GPT formatting done automatically by installer

-it’s hanging all the time at the same place(similar observation posted by one person, so looks like QEMU+OVMF limitation with Win8)

 

3# fedora  18 installation on NVMe Namespace partition and GPT formatting done manually

  -it’s rebooting  the UEFI shell

 

4# fedora  18  installation on QEMU ATA partition and GPT formatting done automatically by installer

-it’s allowing to complete installation. But when I reboot OVMF system  after that, it flashes error.

 

5# Ubuntu12.4 installation on NVMe Namespace partition and GPT formatting done automatically

- when I choose the install option from UEFI Shell, it hangs at black screen.

 

Please provide steps to perform Win8/Fed18/Ubuntu12.4 installation on NVMe Namespace target connected to QEMU + OVMF system.

Also if anyone have any pointer(/limitations) to resolve this, please share that also.

thanks in advance!
