Public bug reported:
Hi maintainers,
I have tried to install Windows 7 SP1 from the ISO. The install process
hangs on the windows 4 color logo with qemu 2.6.0, it works and installs
fine with 2.5.1.
This is the script I used with 2.5.1 and it works perfectly fine:
#!/bin/sh
exec qemu-system-x86_64 \
-enable-kvm \
-uuid 0ec801a0-d215-464b-a658-8f43a24cb62e \
-machine q35 \
-cpu host \
-smp cores=2,threads=2 \
-drive file=disk/ovmfcode.flash,format=raw,readonly,if=pflash \
-drive file=disk/ovmfvars.flash,format=raw,if=pflash \
-drive
file=disk/windows7.img,discard=unmap,detect-zeroes=unmap,cache=unsafe,if=virtio
\
-drive file=ISO/windows7.iso,media=cdrom \
-drive file=ISO/virtiowin.iso,media=cdrom \
-netdev tap,id=nic-0,ifname=tap0,vhost=on,script=no,downscript=no \
-net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:01:00:01,netdev=nic-0,model=virtio \
-m 4G \
-vga qxl \
-soundhw ac97 \
-usbdevice tablet \
-rtc clock=host,base=utc \
-name "Windows 7" \
-monitor telnet:127.0.0.1:2001,server,nowait \
-daemonize
The same hangs on the splash screen with 2.6.0
Even the following simple script behaves the same and hangs at splash
screen with 2.6.0:
#!/bin/sh
exec qemu-system-x86_64 \
-drive file=disk/windows7.img,if=ide \
-drive file=ISO/windows7.iso,media=cdrom \
-name "Windows 7" \
$@
The ISO is Windows 7 Ultimate english version, Service Pack 1.
I reproduced the same behaviour on Gentoo and Arch, with the Qemu versions
provided on both distributions.
Cheers
