Hi, Mike! Seems like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727799 define the same issue Best, Arkady (In reply to comment #0) > Actual results: > load driver failed it prompts " > The virtio-serial Driver could not be installed .Contract your vendor for an > updated driver." (referring to screendump) Hi Mike, Cannot reproduce the problem yet. Could you send C:\Windows\inf\setupapi.dev.log file and "info pci" output? Best regards, Vadim.

Hi, Vadim *note* that ,this is only happened during guest installation ,after guest installation completed ,then I can install virtio serial driver successfully. I will attach the C:\Windows\inf\setupapi.dev.log after installation completed with virtio storage & virtio nic . Additional infoļ¼ balloon driver also can not loaded during win2k8 guest installation. Mike > > Best regards, > Vadim. Created attachment 516613 [details]

(In reply to comment #7) > Created attachment 516614 [details] > setupapi.dev.log Hi Mike, in the log file I can only find the following record, related to the vioserial: >>> [Setup online Device Install (Hardware initiated) - PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1003&SUBSYS_00031AF4&REV_00\3&13c0b0c5&2&28] >>> Section start 2011/08/03 21:13:37.875 vioserial driver cannot be installed at this installation phase, just because it is not an in-box driver. It needs to be installed/updated manually. But I don't see any DiShowUpdateDevice section, related to vioserial in the log file above. Did you try to update the 'PCI Simple Communications Controller' with the vioserial driver? best regards, Vadim.

Hi, Vadim I still think it is a bug .win7 32/64 bit ,win2008R2 guest works when I load virtio balloon/serial driver during *guest installation* While win2008 32bit/64 bit can not . >>Did you try to update the 'PCI Simple Communications > Controller' with the vioserial driver? did you mean doing this after installation completed ? yes ,all virtio driver could be installed on device manager ,while this bug is about install driver during guest installation. > > best regards, > Vadim.

No, it is not a driver's bug, but one of many differences in device drivers installation process between W2K8 and W7/W2K8R2. W7/W2k8R2 can add a driver into driver store file repository, when on response to the question "Where do you want to install Windows?" you add any device driver, even though it can be irrelevant to the storage stack. W2K8 cannot do it. User should make no assumption that a non boot-time device driver can be installed this way. > > >>Did you try to update the 'PCI Simple Communications > > Controller' with the vioserial driver? > > did you mean doing this after installation completed ? yes ,all virtio driver > could be installed on device manager ,while this bug is about install driver > during guest installation. > > > > best regards, > > Vadim. |
