VM w2008 1.7 problems

[tonci]

Hi to all

Since I've upgraded to PVE 1.7 I'ma having problems running/creating windows 2008STD Virtual machines. This is the only one that did not survive 1.6 to 1.7 migration.
When i try to create it againg , black (onsole) screen sying windows is loading files lasts forever and ever.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I'm still running 2.6.32 kernel

Should I upgrade to .35 ?

Thank you very much in advance for your help!


best regards

Tonci

Hi, i was having same kind of problem with qemu 0.13 and win2003, when i want to install directly to virtio disk or boot on existing virtio disk.

what's is working is to do install with

-order d
-virtio-drive boot=on. (with a blank diskimage,no bootable).


if you configure boot order in proxmox web interface,for installation, put virtio disk boot first (with a non bootable blank disk), then cdrom second.

when i tried to make cdrom first and virtio second, it was installing when crashing at restart because disk order change.


i'll try with win2008R2 this week, i'll keep you in touch
