[Qemu-devel] Windows Vista 64 bit on QEMU

Hello All,

Has anyone had success installing (and runnning) Vista 64 bit on QEMU. I
tried it and landed into a variety of windows blue screen errors. The EFI
BIOS also does not seem to be working with the QEMU version in CVS.

Thanks for the help.

Regards,

Anup

Hello All,

I did not get any response to this E-mail. Could someone please let me know
in case there is any other forum to discuss such issues. The topics on QEMU
user forum (relating to this issue) seem to be inactive.

Thanks for the help.

Regards,

Anup

Generally speaking they don't.  Apple Intel Macs are the only ones I
know that use efi, apart from some extreme nitch gear that does...

In one of the posts for Vista on QEMU someone had mentioned that ACPI is to
be blamed. In one of the subsequent posts it was pointed that ACPI is
supported quite well in EFI BIOS. This is the reason I had mentioned that it
no longer works with QEMU.

The goal still remains to get Vista 64-bit working on QEMU and if EFI BIOS
will not help then I will not pursue it any further.

Any further pointers to get Vista running on QEMU will be appreciated.

Regards,

Anup

Afaik some work has been done on kvm to get 64bit Vista running. You
might want to ask there.

Yes. I was having the error saying that it couldn't install because it was not
setup for 64bit, then I changed some of the settings in qemu:

Machine Name: Vista
Emulator Type: KVM
Emulator Version: Default
Computer Type: KVM (Intel VT/AMD SV...)
Machine Type: Standard PC
Boot Priority: CD-ROM
CPU Type: Default
Number of CPU: 1
Video Card: Cirrus CLGD 5446 (D...)
Keyboard Layout: en-us


I hope this helps.
