Subject: [Qemu-devel] Vista guest doesn t start after libvirt/qemu upgrade
Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2011 07:51:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201102220751.20175.Matthias.Meyer@gmx.li> (raw)

Hi,

I've updated my Debian lenny to Debian squeeze last week. So I have now:
  qemu 0.12.5+dfsg-3
  qemu-keymaps 0.12.5+dfsg-3
  qemu-kvm 0.12.5+dfsg-5
  qemu-system 0.12.5+dfsg-3
  qemu-user 0.12.5+dfsg-3
  qemu-utils 0.12.5+dfsg-3
  libvirt 0.8.3-5
  virt-manager 0.8.4-8

Yesterday I try to start my Vista quest again. I am surprised because it 
won't starts. In "/var/log/libvirt/qemu/devel-vista.log" stands "Read 
failed". The Console stays as a black screen after a short SeaBIOS message.
I tried system recovery too but Vista system recovery identified the Vista 
installation without any errors.

Nearly the same occurs with my Windows7 guest. The logfile seems fine but the 
console present me:
Starting SeaBIOS (version...)
Booting from Hard Disk...
Boot failed: not a bootable disk
I tried system recovery too and indeed, W7 doesn't found a Windows 
Installation.

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root         root 10241 Feb 22 00:34 devel-xp.qcow2

the *.2del files are the original images which doesn't start. The responding 
files without .2del are restored from a backup.


WindowsXP as well as different Linux guests start and run fine.

There are any experience with this obscurse behavior?


Thanks in advance
Matthias
