[Qemu-devel] kqemu 0.6.2 and XP

[Michael Hoeller]

Hello,

I have compiled qemu from the cvs 2004-04-14 and kqemu. Then tried to
install WinXP it hangs everytime after formating when it tries to copy the
install data.
I have startet with qemu  -m 512 -localtime -user-net -hda /data/winxp.img
-cdrom /dev/cdrom -k de -boot d
Did I missed a tricky option or is there prob?

I installed via rpm -> I created with checkinstall an rpm and installed
this. There was the message that
/lib/modules/2.6.8.24.11-default/modules.dep conflicts with the one from
the rpm. I had to use the force option to get it installed??? ..

Then I recompiled without the kqemu and tried WinME the installation is
fine but when the install files are copied the emu just stops appr. by 8%
of the installation.

Does someone has an idea?

Thanks a lot
Michael

It seems that some people have problems when the "-m" parameter is set
to a value higher than the size of /dev/shm. (as seen earlier on this
mailing-list, some problems about Windows 2003)
You should try a value a little lower than his size.

And because your keybard is set to "de", you may be using a german
WindowsXP CD.
There were errors with those CDs (But it should be resolved now)

How big is your virtual partition supposed to be? Take
that value, divide by 16 and 63 and then add
-hdachs <cylinder>,16,63 and see if that works. I'm 
not using anything special (other than stuff to make
it work with Solaris), and I've gotten win98, win2k pro,
win2k server, winxp home upgrade and win 2003 to
install.  They don't always run right once I start
mucking with them, but the great thing is you can 
keep a backup of the image in case you screw something
up.

This has worked for me with the cvs code, and not
including the patch that was posted today.

Hello Ben,

I compiled with kqemu support - the version which works is the with or
without kqemu?
Just to double check, I created the virtual partition with dd of=win.img
bs=1024 seek=2000000 count=0
I am not sure to calculate the cylinders 2 000 000 / 16 / 63 = 1984,126
???

Thanks a lot
Michael
