Please try this build, it includes Windows patches: https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/taskinfo?taskID=5273068 Hopefully a dupe of Bug 895392. If not, we'll probably have to wait until RHEL6.5 to fix it (unless Stefan has a trivial patch that can be reviewed and included tomorrow, in snapshot 4). Ping. Please confirm that the Windows 7 guest is able to install to a x-data-plane=on drive. (In reply to comment #1) > Please try this build, it includes Windows patches: > > https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/taskinfo?taskID=5273068 this build (qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.351.el6.test.src.rpm, x86_64) was deleted, so i have to try this issue with the latest version qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.355.el6.x86_64. host info: kernel-2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.355.el6.x86_64 guest info: win7 64bit virtio-win-1.6.2-1.el6 steps: the same as comment #0 qemu-kvm command line: # /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M rhel6.4.0 -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -usb -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -name data-plane -uuid 990ea161-6b67-47b2-b803-19fb01d30d30 -rtc base=localtime,clock=host,driftfix=slew -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev socket,id=channel1,path=/tmp/helloworld1,server,nowait -device virtserialport,chardev=channel1,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm,bus=virtio-serial0.0,id=port1 -chardev socket,id=channel2,path=/tmp/helloworld2,server,nowait -device virtserialport,chardev=channel2,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm,bus=virtio-serial0.0,id=port2 -drive file=/home/windows_7_ultimate_sp1_x64.raw,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk,format=raw,cache=none,aio=native,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4,scsi=off,x-data-plane=on,drive=drive-virtio-disk,id=virtio-disk,bootindex=1 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -device e1000,netdev=hostnet0,id=virtio-net-pci0,mac=BC:96:9D:05:51:EC,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -balloon none -spice port=5931,disable-ticketing -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=67108864 -boot menu=on -monitor stdio -drive file=/home/en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_618240.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,format=raw,id=drive-ide0-0-0 -device ide-drive,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0,bus=ide.0,unit=0,bootindex=0 -drive file=/usr/share/virtio-win/virtio-win-1.6.2.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,format=raw,id=drive-ide1-0-1 -device ide-drive,drive=drive-ide1-0-1,id=ide1-0-1,bus=ide.1,unit=1 -drive file=/usr/share/virtio-win/virtio-win-1.6.2_Win7-Win8-2008-2012.vfd,if=none,id=drive-fdc0-0-0,readonly=on,format=raw -global isa-fdc.driveA=drive-fdc0-0-0 results: it can install windows guest without any problem with the x-data-plane=on for system disk, no any error, like 'Setup was unable to create a new system partiotion or locate an existing system partition'.
