Description Ladi Prosek 2016-04-25 08:05:35 UTC 
Description of problem:
txtsetup.oem in the floppy image refers only to Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 versions of the viostor driver. If the floppy contains other builds, the oem file should describe them as well.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virtio-win-1.7.4-1
Comment 1 Ladi Prosek 2016-04-25 08:11:09 UTC 
Alternatively, we could keep only the XP and 2003 drivers on the floppy and leave the oem file intact. There's no need for a "F6" floppy on Vista and later.
Comment 5 Ladi Prosek 2016-05-12 13:36:52 UTC 
Only Windows XP and 2003 use .oem files, all later Windows versions load drivers using regular .inf files. The documentation is confusing on this one, explicitly mentioning TxtSetup.oem features available in Windows Server 2003 *and later*, but there is no later.

Rule of thumb: if and only if Windows setup starts in text mode, it uses TxtSetup.oem.

Nothing is broken here, closing as NOTABUG.
