Dear reader,
Using qemu-kvm-0.13-rc1 and having the boot partition as if=virtio,
causes the attached blue screen when booting Windows XP SP3.
Changing the interface to ide (if=ide) and the system boots normal.
I am running OpenSuse 11.3 with kernel 2.6.35.4.
If more info is needed, please don't hesitate to ask.
Regards, Frans.

Do you have the virtio drivers installed?

Yes, everything is working fine when I use the 0.12.5 release.
Before you ask, I am using the git repository too. Same effect.

No suggestions form anyone?
Again, any compile combination is working under 0.12.5. Starting with
0.13-rc0/1 the virtio option for the boot disk is not working anymore.

Could you try bisecting please?
git bisect start v0.13.0-rc0 v0.12.0
will start the bisect process, then you build, test and run
git bisect good/git bisect bad as appropriate to get the
new version.

Following your advice, I noticed that the system could not boot when I
use the guest virtio driver. I then switch back to as far as version
10.0 with the same bad result. I then remembered that in the past I used
the '.raw' format. Since I am using the qcow2 format (better
performance), I never tried if=virtio for the disk before until I use
the 0.13.0-rc1 version. I tried the release tar file of 0.12.5 /and/
this time with the guest virtio driver, with the same bad result.
Maybe it is the file format? Maybe the virtio disk driver? I have taken
the virtio drivers from the KVM website.
Frans.

I got confused, sorry. Let's try to enumerate what works and what does not.
Could you tell us which of the following combinations you tried
and with what result (works/doesn't)?
- virtio + raw + 0.12
- virtio + qcow2 + 0.12
- ide + qcow2 + 0.12
- virtio + raw + 0.13
- virtio + qcow2 + 0.13
- ide + qcow2 + 0.13
Thanks!

The new list is:
- virtio + raw + 0.13 ok.
That is when I am using this viostor driver:
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/virtio-win/latest/images/bin/
I used the complete ISO file and extracted the viostor files. These are 6.x files.
.qcow2 with virtio still does not work under 0.13-rc1
It's late, so maybe in a few days I try 0.12.5 with the .qcow2 format.
By the way, above ISO file contains much more virtio goodies not supplied yet at the KVM or QEMU site. Maybe an upgrade at the site is in order?

OK, so with new drivers all formats behave identically
under 0.13 and 0.12, right?

Yes, a image format in qcow2 is not working under versions 0.12-0.13
while using the latest - or previous - virtio drivers.
The question is now if that is only in my case (and if so what "special"
environment do I have) or are there others having the same issue. Which
points to a design issue in either the qcow2 format or the virtio drivers.
