Description of problem: Windows guest stops at "Booting from hard disk" after installation. However, ff booting from CD and no any key pressed, it can boot into the guest system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qemu-0.12.3-8.fc13.rpm seabios-0.5.1-2.fc13.rpm How reproducible: Almost each time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install windows 2003 guest 2. Boot the guest from hard disk after installation 3. Actual results: Stop at "Booting from hard disk" in the screen. Expected results: Boot successfully from hard disk. Additional info: The command line of qemu-kvm /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M fedora-13 -cpu core2duo,+x2apic -enable-kvm -m 1800 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name rhevm -uuid 7f49b6a5-e31f-0bc7-6d37-8bd5cb9ce961 -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/rhevm.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=monitor,mode=readline -rtc base=localtime -boot c -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/en_win_srv_2003_r2_enterprise_with_sp2_vl_cd1.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-0 -device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0 -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/rhevm-1.img,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,boot=on,format=raw -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0 -device rtl8139,vlan=0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:8a:b3:4e,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -net tap,fd=58,vlan=0,name=hostnet0 -chardev pty,id=serial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=serial0 -usb -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 -k en-us -vga std -device AC97,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 The qemu thread gets stuck in syscall ioctl, which indicates it keeps running some code in guest. #strace -p 12246 Process 12246 attached - interrupt to quit rt_sigtimedwait([BUS RT_6], 0x7f3054550c30, {0, 0}, 8) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) rt_sigpending([ALRM]) = 0 futex(0x85eec0, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1 ioctl(12, KVM_RUN
I added some debug code in seabios and found that it should have jumped to 0x7c00 to run bootloader already. Run fixboot/fixmbr in windows repair console, it didn't help either.
I am facing the same problem. However, I am not able to boot even after booting from CD with no key pressed. I am only able to do the windows install. But after that, on booting the second time, it gets stuck at "Booting from hard disk"
I am seeing the same problem, but only with NTFS. If I install Windows with FAT32 the system boots without any problems.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
