| Doc Text: |
Previously, certain virtual floppy drive (VFD) files used for building virtio-win drivers became unreadable due to excessive size. As a consequence, installing virtio-win using virtual floppy disks in some cases failed. This update creates separate image files for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, which makes it possible for VFD installations of virtio-win to work properly.

We need pm_ack and QA_ACK asap. Could we separate all into two floppies? - One for win8+ guests, another for win8- guests; - Or one for windows desktop, another for windows servers. (In reply to lijin from comment #3) > Could we separate all into two floppies? > - One for win8+ guests, another for win8- guests; > - Or one for windows desktop, another for windows servers. Yes we can. The split between desktop and server worked fine. Can you provide qa_ack, please? # ll /usr/share/virtio-win/ total 298832 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 31 Aug 23 20:43 drivers drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 56 Aug 24 10:55 guest-agent -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2949120 Aug 24 10:56 virtio-win-1.9.5_amd64.vfd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 294205440 Aug 23 23:48 virtio-win-1.9.5.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2949120 Aug 24 10:56 virtio-win-1.9.5_servers_amd64.vfd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2949120 Aug 24 10:56 virtio-win-1.9.5_servers_x86.vfd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2949120 Aug 24 10:56 virtio-win-1.9.5_x86.vfd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Aug 24 10:56 virtio-win_amd64.vfd -> virtio-win-1.9.5_amd64.vfd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Aug 24 10:56 virtio-win.iso -> virtio-win-1.9.5.iso lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Aug 24 10:56 virtio-win_servers_amd64.vfd -> virtio-win-1.9.5_servers_amd64.vfd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Aug 24 10:56 virtio-win_servers_x86.vfd -> virtio-win-1.9.5_servers_x86.vfd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Aug 24 10:56 virtio-win_x86.vfd -> virtio-win-1.9.5_x86.vfd Check the content of the floppies, all are expected, so change status to verified. Thanks Hey, quick change in the BZ: the fixed-in version field had a package that was rejected by QA. I updated with the version we're actually shipping.
