Hi, Vadim

Is this issue fixed in virtio-win-prewhql-23 ?
Why status is still post ?
BTW Could you supply me a seabios with both virtio-scsi and power management support ?

Best Regards,
Mike

Created attachment 564781 [details]
seabios with virtio-scsi support + S3 enabled

bios with virtio-scsi support + S3 enabled

Hi Mike,
Didn't try it by myself (s3 part), but it should work.

Best regards,
Vadim.

Hi, Vadim 

This one does not work ,it may does not include the patch about boot from scsi disk .
Could you re-compile one for me based on seabios located in ttp://people.redhat.com/pbonzini/virtio-scsi/ and support s3/s4 ?

Thanks 
Mike

Let's move it to rhel6.4.

Comment 17 Yang Zhao 2012-06-29 07:12:15 UTC
verify it on win2k8-32 and win2k8-64 with virtio-win-prewhql-29
steps:
1.start guest with virtio scsi 
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -m 6G -smp 4 -cpu cpu64-rhel6,+x2apic,family=0xf -usb -device usb-tablet -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi1 -drive file=/home/win2k8-32-0608.raw,format=raw,if=none,id=drive-virtio0,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device scsi-hd,drive=drive-virtio0,id=virtio-blk-pci0,bootindex=1 -netdev tap,sndbuf=0,id=hostnet0,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,downscript=no -device e1000,netdev=hostnet0,mac=00:52:16:11:10:aa -uuid fac99c6f-20ef-448c-8f5e-aa7d63724b44 -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -chardev socket,id=111a,path=/tmp/monitor-win2k8-32-scsi,server,nowait -mon chardev=111a,mode=readline -vnc :3 -rtc base=localtime,clock=host,driftfix=slew -chardev socket,id=seabios_debug,path=/tmp/monitor-seabios,server,nowait -device isa-debugcon,iobase=0x402,chardev=seabios_debug -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi  -drive file=disk5.raw,if=none,format=raw,id=drive-virtio-data1,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device scsi-hd,id=virtio-data1,drive=drive-virtio-data1 -drive file=disk6.raw,if=none,format=raw,id=drive-virtio-data2,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device scsi-hd,id=virtio-data2,drive=drive-virtio-data2 -drive file=disk3.raw,if=none,format=raw,id=drive-virtio-data3,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device scsi-hd,id=virtio-data3,drive=drive-virtio-data3 -drive file=disk4.raw,if=none,format=raw,id=drive-virtio-data4,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device scsi-hd,id=virtio-data4,drive=drive-virtio-data4
2.install virtio scsi driver in the guest.
3.run CrystalDisk tool to check.

Actual results:
Both of the two guests work well, no BSOD or crash occurs.

Base on above,this issue has been fixed.
