Hi,
I used balloon driver for windows virtio-win-0.1-15.iso (from
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/virtio-win/latest/images/bin/)
following the install guard , I installed the balloon driver like this:
devcon.exe install d:\wxp\x86\balloon.inf
"PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1002&SUBSYS_00051AF4&REV_00"
then reboot guest Os, but the status of driver installed is always
incorrect, that show me the driver start failed (code 10) in the device
manager.
I typed the following cmds in the monitor command line:
(qemu) device_add virtio-balloon
(qemu) info balloon
balloon: actual=2048
(qemu) balloon 1024
(qemu) info balloon
balloon: actual=2048
(qemu) info balloon
balloon: actual=2048
And I also tried it by using "qemu -balloon virtio" param when getting
qemu up, the status is worse, the winxp guest froze at boot screen.
Am I using balloon driver in a correct way?
