[Qemu-devel] Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition under QEMU

[Qemu-devel] Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition under QEMU

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Hi people,

I loaned the Windows 2003 Enterprise edition server CD from our MSDN
collection at work and decided to test it under QEMU..

It seems to install pretty well, and you can login into it. 
I made 11 screenshots - you can look at it at: http://witch.dyndns.org/qemu/
(warning - slow line! mirrors are welcome)..

One thing that I couldn't do is convince win2003 to detect the NE2000 virtual
cards - the auto detection doesn't detect it, and there is no driver inside
the CD image, so how do I install the ne2k driver?

One more question: I'm pretty bad with sudo, and sudo keeps asking me for my
password every time I run qemu to load the qemu-ifup script. any suggestions?

Thanks,
Hetz

this is the line from my /etc/sudoers
rudi    ALL=NOPASSWD: /etc/qemu-ifup-sudo
replace "rudi" with your username. the key is the "NOPASSWD:" keyword.
good luck.

about the ne2000... i suppose it is too old and has been dropped from the 
windows driver pool.

I also use the latest CVS but neither XP nor Win 2003 detects any network 
card. TUN is loaded here:

tun0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:FF:53:50:2E:73
          inet addr:192.168.2.10  Bcast:192.168.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

But still, no network card appears.. any hints?

Thanks,

For Windows XP I had the same problem.  I searched the web for old
drivers - the Windows 2000 ones work - and found it was called
netnovel.inf.  More searching found a download available (whether you
trust this is up to you):
http://www.lpt.com/windowsnetworking/regusers/wxpne2k.htm

I then just used mkisofs to make a CD image file readable to my Windows
XP VM and followed the instructions on the above site.  As with Linux I
set the IRQ to 9 and the IO range from 0x300 to 0x31F.

I don't see any reason why this wouldn't work with Windows Server 2003 -
in fact hopefully it might actually allow it to serve something!

Good luck,
