[Qemu-devel] [Bug 497273] Re: winxp.64 fails to install in -rc2 with kvm

[Thomas Huth]

Fedora 11, QEMU 0.12 and Windows XP are pretty much outdated nowadays,
so I guess nobody will take care of this ticket anymore - sorry! So I'm
closing this as "Won't fix" now. (Anyway, if you still can reproduce
this problem with the latest version of QEMU, feel free to open the bug
again)

Title:
  winxp.64 fails to install in -rc2 with kvm

  Won't Fix

  Guest commandline: 
  sudo ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -L pc-bios -name 'vm1' -monitor 
stdio -drive file=~/work/images/winXP-64.qcow2,if=ide,cache=writeback -net 
nic,vlan=0,model=rtl8139,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56 -net user,vlan=0 -m 512 
-cdrom ~/work/isos/en_windows_xp_professional_x64.iso -enable-kvm -redir 
tcp:5000::22

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. git checkout -b 12rc2 v0.12.0-rc2
  2. ./configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu
  3. make
  4. qemu-img create -f qcow2 ~/work/images/winXP-64.qcow2 20G
  5. sudo ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -L pc-bios -name 'vm1' -monitor 
stdio -drive file=~/work/images/winXP-64.qcow2,if=ide,cache=writeback -net 
nic,vlan=0,model=rtl8139,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56 -net user,vlan=0 -m 512 
-cdrom ~/work/isos/en_windows_xp_professional_x64.iso -enable-kvm -redir 
tcp:5000::22

  Guest boots XP.64 installer, loads some files and then hangs at
  "Starting Windows XP"

  Reverting to -rc1 and XP installs just fine.  Git bisect points to:

  commit 066263f37701687c64af9d8825e3376d069ebfd4
  Author: Andre Przywara <address@hidden>
  Date:   Mon Dec 7 11:58:02 2009 +0100

  cpuid: Fix multicore setup on Intel
      

  Reverting this fixes the problem.

  Different kvm modules seem to affect this install as well.  Switching 
  to different kvm-kmod packages:

  2.6.32 modules work fine with 0.12.0-rc2, no issues at all

  2.6.30 modules fail, reverting the above commit doesn't help, seems to 
  be in the same boat as 2.6.28 modules

  2.6.31.5 (roughly equivalent to Fedora11 modules) work on -rc1, fail on
  rc2, reverting above commit fixes -rc2.
