[Qemu-devel] [Bug 586420] Re: WinXP install cd hangs at boot time if machine started with floppy

[tekditt]

I wrote already which system I use (see the third reply).
It's Gentoo on AMD64 with the hardened no-multilib profile with qemu-kvm 0.12.4 
and SeaBIOS 0.5.1.

It isn't really my own build. Since I use Gentoo, it was compiled on my own 
computer and it's installed in /usr, not in /usr/local.
Qemu only gives an error if I use the -L parameter.

Still, I can't boot any Windows XP and 2003 install CD. It definitely
hangs at boot time, it happens anything in the cpu registers, only EIP
and EFL are changing between these values:

Command line :
> qemu-kvm -L /usr/share/qemu/ -cdrom /srv/vm/win2k3srv.iso -fda 
> /srv/vm/virtio.img -boot d -enable-kvm -monitor stdio

By the way, I have trouble to compile the newest code of qemu.git, but that 
could be more a bug related to Portage's tree. The used make scripts are from 
the qemu.git source though.

Bug description:
I have a second problem:

I wanted to install Windows Server 2003 on a virtio drive, so I tried to start 
the machine with the install cd as the boot drive and a floppy image with the 
viostor drivers. The problem is, the install cd hangs at boot time. If I start 
VNC I just see a black ground with 640x480.

I've also tried this with the install cd of Windows Server 2008 R2 and it works!

Could it be that the BIOS screws up because the older install cds are using the 
floppy emulation to boot the setup?
