Subject: [Qemu-discuss] virtio with Windows 8.

Hi all,

 

1. I create a raw image named as win8.img, using the following command:

/usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-img create -f raw win8.img 20G

 

2. I try to install win8 with the following command, but I failed several times.

 

sudo /usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -drive file=./win8.img,if=virtio,cache=none -cdrom ./win8.iso -boot d -m 2048.

 

3. I try the same command but with if=ide, it works. 

 

Could someone tell me the reason for this failure? 

 

I appreciate it very much!
