qemu-kvm 0.12.0-rc2: can't install windows 2008 std

qemu-kvm 0.12.0-rc2: can't install windows 2008 std

[Thomas Mueller]

after having problems with qemu-kvm 0.11.0 and windows 2008 under i/o I 
thought trying the new 0.12.0-rc2 and make some tests.

so i've compiled qemu-kvm 0.12.0-rc2 and tried to install Windows 2008 
Standard 64bit. 

it shows the "Windows is loading files" screen and then BSOD with 
0x0000007E . I tried if=ide and if=scsi. none of them are working. at 
least with qemu-kvm 0.11.0 this was working.

booting an existing WinXP guest  or a linux live cd (sysresccd) is 
working with 0.12.0-rc2

kvm cmd:

 kvm \
	-usbdevice tablet \
	-drive file=drive1.raw,cache=none,if=ide,boot=on  \
	-net nic,model=e1000 -net user \
	-k de-ch -m 2048 \
	-smp 2 -monitor stdio \
	-localtime -drive file=win2008.iso,media=cdrom,if=ide

How large is your disk?  The Internet indicates this error may occur if 
you run out of disk space during install.

Does BSOD looks like the one attached to this bug report?

If yes, make sure you reinstalled BIOS image.

it does look similiar, but the ACPI line is missing. my screenshot:

the disk is 20G . 

the "windows is loading files" screen ist the first screen in black/white 
when booting from cd/dvd. after that it would switch to the next screen 
where you have to choose the language *. So there isn't even the disk 
involved yet. I only can think of that the win-setup can't access the cd/
dvd drive at this stage.

I can't reproduce this with your command line.

What Windows version is this (2008, 2008 r2, x86, x64)?  What's your 
host cpu type?  And what's your kvm version?

Does -smp 1 work?

I used:
kernel 2.6.30.2
qemu-kvm 0.12.0-rc2 
processor:  Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     T9400  @ 2.53GHz
os: windows 2008 standard 64bit english

I switched now to:
kernel 2.6.32
qemu-kvm 0.12.1

now i don't get the BSOD anymore. 

so now I can go on and do i/o tests. :)

thanks!
