[Qemu-devel] Windows BSOD with copied image

[Qemu-devel] Windows BSOD with copied image

[Bryan Christ]

Sorry to be a pest, but I posted this on the user forum and haven't
received any replies.

...

I have a working Windows XP qcow2 image. I have tried several ways to
copy it. I have used cp, dd, and qemu-img convert. In all cases,
Windows XP will BSOD when the copied image is run. Any thoughts? I
suspect that it might be related to the fact that the original file
has "-rw-r--r--." permissions and the copy does not have the "." in
the right-most column (no idea what that means and how to change it).

What does:

md5sum xp-image xp-image-copy

say?

I'll provide that, but I can tell you they will not match because the
file size is slightly off.

Even when copied with cp or dd?

Something fishy on your machine.

When I use "cp" the md5sum hashes matches and the file sizes are the
same, but I still get a BSOD.

My sincerest apologies to everyone on this list.  As a developer
myself, I should have know to take Qemu Launcher out of the test
equation.  Running the copy from the command line works just fine with
no BSOD.

Without long range mind reading equipment, there is really no way.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.

If work has started already, one way to look at it is to call something 
like:

	$ git shortlog -s --since=6.months.ago -- <file>

Of course, that assumes that you already cloned qemu.git.
