Andreas,
The program that created the disk image seems confused, but it worked for
creating a VM for FC11.
Windows install seems to run fine, until wanting to boot from the drive it
created.
I don't know what creates the drive image and geometry, but it is broken.
I think this is what I used to create the VM, but I have messed around
with so many configurations and methods, I'm not sure what is what
anymore.
virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n w7 -r 2048 --vcpus=2 \
--disk path=/vm/w7.img,size=20,sparse=false,format=qcow2 \
-c /vm/w7cd.iso --vnc --noautoconsole \
--os-type windows --os-variant win7 --accelerate --network=bridge:br0 --hvm
How many thousands of people have struggled with this and also got nowhere?
It just looks like the virt-install developers have not tasted their own
dogfood!
LVM is supposed to be easy - just select vm image and boot, but the more
I read about VMs, kvm, qemu, virtualbox, virsh etc, the more confused I get on
how they
relate to each other.
testdisk reports this:

Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot

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.
