Hi, Update on q35 testing with various os's.
Linux ----- -RHEL6.3 installs + runs -Fedora 16 install + runs -Fedora 17 - squashfs errors running on already installed f17 seems ok. Windows ------- -W7 - install error: "A required cd/dvd device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now. " Related to the new ahci controller, since if I go back to an ide conroller it keeps going (albeit the install is *very* slow). So I'm wondering if we need an ide compatibility mode? Or perhaps, there are other ideas. -Windows 95 - vnc is blank even with an ide controller instead of ahci. Yamahata reported getting q35 working with windows 95, I think? BSD --- Haven't tried any yet. Any specific versions? As a remminder here are my trees: git://github.com/jibaron/q35-qemu.git git://github.com/jibaron/q35-seabios.git A basic qemu cmd to start q35, looks like: $ /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -name "f16" -M pc_q35 -m 1G -smp 4 -hda ./f16.img --enable-kvm -bios <path>/q35-seabios/out/bios.bin -acpitable file=<path>/q35-seabios/out/q35-acpi-dsdt.aml -monitor stdio Thanks, -Jason
