Windows XP x64 SP2 KVM Guest Virtio Drivers

Windows XP x64 SP2 KVM Guest Virtio Drivers

[OwN-3m-All]

Hi Guys,

Does a virtio KVM driver exist for Windows XP x64 SP2?  If not, would it be
possible to create one / adapt the Server 2003 version somehow?  I tried
using the Server 2003 x64 drivers (from
http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/WindowsGuestDrivers), but they didn't work.
  The drivers would install, but then XP x64 would just blue screen and
never boot up again.

Hoping there's a driver!

Hi,

WinXP 64bit is a strange bird.

Which driver did you tried to install: virtio-net, virtio-block or something else?


Best regards,
Yan.

I was hoping for a virtio storage driver.  I'd like to use a virtio disk 
rather than ide.  However, it does not seem to be possible with XP x64 
because such a driver does not exist?  Also, the viostor driver for 
Server 2003 x64 does not work for XP x64.

That's strange. While WXP 64-bit is not officially supported, I remember
I tested W2K3 64-bit viostor driver on WXP 64-bit SP2.
You said it fails with BSOD. Can you tell me the bug check code please?

Cheers,
Vadim.
