Subject: [Qemu-devel] boot a preinstalled winxp on linux/x86: writing a patch...
Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2006 02:13:11 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200612280213.11840.rpolli@babel.it> (raw)

hi all,

I tried to boot my preinstalled winxp with
 # qemu -boot c -hda /dev/hda

that's what happens:
- qemu load grub, and I select to boot winxp (grub says "chainloader +1, then 
boot")
- qemu starts to load winxp, with a winxp boot screen
- qemu fails and reboots

it seems qemu stops loading winxp when /dev/hda "ends" and /dev/hda1 starts.

I could build a patch to fix it, but before start studing qemu source, I'd 
like to ear from you - yes, if it was easy you guru already would have done 
it!

tia,
R.
