Description of problem: I can't boot the Vista x64 ISO Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: I used the virtual machine manager to create a Windows Vista VM. I double checked that the x64 CPU is selected. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Bluescreen with STOP: 0x0000005D Expected results: Additional info:
What are the steps to reproduce? What is the qemu command line called? This should be in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/<machinename>.log
Reproducing is easy: Click New machine, select the ISO and Windows, click next next next and try to boot. That's the log: 2012-01-27 21:35:36.687+0000: starting up LC_ALL=C PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -S -M pc-0.14 -no-kvm -m 1024 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name test2 -uuid b6f87ee7-319c-4248-6baa-003029e13c2c -nodefconfig -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/test2.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=localtime -no-reboot -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/test2.img,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,format=raw -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0,bootindex=2 -drive file=/path/to/vistax64sp198.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw -device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0,bootindex=1 -netdev tap,fd=22,id=hostnet0 -device rtl8139,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:8d:92:57,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -usb -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 -vga std -device intel-hda,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -device hda-duplex,id=sound0-codec0,bus=sound0.0,cad=0 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 char device redirected to /dev/pts/18 qemu: terminating on signal 15 from pid 1230 2012-01-27 21:39:49.803+0000: shutting down
I have the same problem here. Code 0x0000005D seems to indicate that the CPU isn't supported. Changing CPU options didn't immediately help. Windows 7, 64-bit has the same problem (it takes slightly longer to reach that point though).
I notice you are trying to boot with kvm disabled? Does this work with kvm enabled?
I can't test that because my hardware is not KVM enabled :-(
Ah, enabling KVM did solve the problem for me. I wonder how I ended up with kvm disabled in the first place though: I installed all the necessary packages (including qemu-kvm), and then, without rebooting, I defined and started a new VM in virt-manager. Apparently the appropriate kernel modules did not get loaded. (A reboot would have loaded them.) This looks like an unnecessary pitfall.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. 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 '16'. 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 16'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 16 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. 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
I can reproduce on F18, seems like this a long known problem with qemu + tcg, here's the upstream bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/921208 Changing the cpu doesn't seem to help either, I tried the default and -cpu host and same error. Since this doesn't seem like it's on track to be fixed anytime soon, and there's a reasonably active upstream report, anyone that is interested should follow up there. Duplicating that bug in the Fedora tracker isn't particularly helpful.
