Windows xp qemu drivers

Спаисьо за дельный совет.

Наяндексил http://blog.famzah.net/2010/01/09/kvm-qemu-virtio-storage-and-network-drivers…, скачал «Both Virtio network and storage drivers for Windows». Возникли следующие вопросы:

1) На диске присутствуют E:\network\Install\XP_Win2003\{amd64,x86}. Какой из них использовать, если host-система — amd64, при запуске qemu тип процессора не указывался, а Винда в свойствах системы говорит, что Pentium II?

2) Попробовал оба варианта, но XP ни в то, ни в другом случае не считает, что это драйвер сетевой платы. Что делать?

3) Что за «storage»-драйвер, и зачем он нужен? На диске для XP есть только E:\storage\Install\Xp\x86.

00:00:35 Finding the virtio drivers for XP.
00:02:25 Starting the XP install.
00:04:10 Finishing off the XP install.
00:06:20 Time to find a key for the temporary install.
00:10:05 Time to restart to see if the key is ok.
00:12:50 Time to install the network driver.
00:16:20 Time to create a temporary drive to copy the driver onto.
00:23:40 Time to install the copied over network driver.
00:25:15 Time to get the unofficial XP Service Pack 4.
00:27:40 Now it is time to install the unofficial XP Service Pack 4.
00:33:20 Finally it is time to see if it runs with multiple cpu cores.

In this video I am installing Windows XP into a Qemu virtual machine and some people more might think that this is a waste of time, because XP has long been out of support, but I ended up having to do this, because I had a client who wanted to upgrade an old accounting program to a new version, but the old version would only run on XP, and they only had the database for that version, so I had to run that old version in an XP vm. XP will only run for 30 days when installed like this, but that was more than enough for me to get the job done. I also decided to install the unofficial service pack 4, which would help the XP to survive a little bit longer, against the newer exploits that have been released.

They have removed the floppy image in the latest virtio drivers, so below is a link to the version that I did use:
https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.185-2/

qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2048 -enable-kvm -cpu host -net nic,macaddr=72:34:fa:4b:92:a2 -net bridge,br=br0 -readconfig /etc/ich9-ehci-uhci.config -device usb-tablet,bus=ehci.0,port=2 -drive file=WinXP.qcow2,if=virtio,cache=unsafe -vga cirrus -drive file=/big/qemu/en_windows_xp_home_with_service_pack_3_x86_cd_x14-92413.iso,index=2,media=cdrom -drive file=/big/qemu/virtio-win-0.1.185_x86.vfd,index=0,if=floppy,format=raw -boot menu=on -soundhw ac97

Get a floppy with drivers:

$ wget http://www.linux-kvm.com/sites/default/files/viostor-31-03-2010-floppy.img

I will describe two alternative methods for setting virtio in WinXP.

Setup during WinXP installation
Instruction is based on http://www.linux-kvm.com/content/block-driver-updates-install-drivers-during-windows-installation.

Create an image.

$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 winxp.qcow2

Run installation (assuming that your Win Install ISO is winxp.iso)

$ kvm -boot d -cdrom winxp.iso -drive file=winxp.qcow2,if=virtio -fda viostor-31-03-2010-floppy.img -m 1200

Note. According to the original article, drive should be given with “boot=on” like this:

$ kvm -boot d -cdrom winxp.iso -drive file=winxp.qcow2,if=virtio,boot=on -fda viostor-31-03-2010-floppy.img -m 1200

When I used this option, I had an error “Raw or indistinguishable disks” and installation failed. However, without “boot=on” I could install WinXP on qemu-kvm-0.15.0.

Shortly after the windows install CD boots is the option to install any additional storage drivers. This is the critical thing to remember when installing storage drivers during windows installation because it’s easy to miss this. If you miss that opportunity you’ll have to restart the installation. Below is a screenshot showing the screen to hit F6 in order to install storage drivers.

Before installation begins, you’ll be prompted to specify your storage drivers as shown below.

Type “S” to specify your viostor block driver. You’ll then be prompted to specify your driver from the driver list. The floppy image contains drivers for Windows XP and 2003. Select Windows XP driver.

Installation goes as usual after this. You will get a prompt during installation asking you to confirm the installation of the unsigned driver.

Accept and finish install as usual.

Setup after WinXP installation
Instruction is based on http://www.linux-kvm.com/content/redhat-54-windows-virtio-drivers-part-2-block-drivers.

Create an image and install WinXP.

$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 winxp.qcow2
$ kvm -boot d -cdrom winxp.iso -drive file=winxp.qcow2 -m 1200

Shut down WinXP and run it again with attached virtio drive and floppy.

$ kvm -boot d -cdrom winxp.iso -drive file=winxp.qcow2 -drive file=winxp.qcow2,if=virtio -fda viostor-31-03-2010-floppy.img -m 1200

When you boot your guest with the virtio block disk attached windows will prompt you on startup for a driver to install.
Select “No, not this time” when the wizard asks you to search for the driver software.

Select “install from a list of specific location” .

Select the Browse button and navigate to the driver CD.

Select the appropriate folder for your guest architecture (WinXP 32 bit).

Click Next to begin the install.

You will get a prompt warning about the driver not being signed. Go ahead and select “Continue Anyway”.

Your driver has now successfully been installed.

When you inspect your drivers you’ll now see the redhat virtio scsi controller listed.

Shut down and start Windows this way:

$ kvm -boot d -cdrom winxp.iso -drive file=winxp.qcow2,if=virtio -fda viostor-31-03-2010-floppy.img -m 1200
