I've been a busy poster here and thanks for all the help and tips thusfar :) I've been able to correctly get all of the VirtIO drivers working on 2012R2 but am still finding that there is one unknown device within W2008R2 that I've been unable to identify.

I have the VirtIO drivers installed for storage, network and baloon. There is still an Unknown device that I've not been able to identify that IDs itself as an ACPI/QEMUVGID. Any ideas?

Hi, I have exactly the same problem, with the Windows Server 2008 R2 and the unknown device (ACPI\QEMUGID) that I can't solve.

@bensode how did you solve it?

Best regards
 
This looks not like a real issue. As you run really old OS like windows 2008r2, you got some not supported features and missing/bad driver support in future.

I would Just ignore it.
 
.. if anyone needs to get rid of those unknown devices --- I finally tracked down proper cab files x64 and x86 that needs to be installed on guest Windows VMs. Email me if you wish direct download links...
 
For the record to newbies:
1. Download windows update KB3063109 (this update from this page) to desktop. File name is windows6.x-hypervintegrationservices-x64.cab
2. Run PowerShell as Administrator:
Code:
Dism /online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\windows6.x-hypervintegrationservices-x64.cab
3. Restart and the unknown device is gone.
