I am trying to install a Windows 8.1 guest using KVM. I'd like to use
virtio for network and disk, but I can't seem to find virtio drivers
that windows 8.1 actually recognizes. Under RHEL 7, it would be the
virtio-win package. No such package seems to exist for F21.
I downloaded the iso from
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/virtio-win/latest/images/ and
made it available to the win8.1 installer as an IDE CD, it sees them.
But when I tell win8.1 to use them, it says "did not find any drivers"
and it still can't see the virtio disk.
What am I doing wrong?
I'll gladly RTFM, but I've looked through the F21 installation and
system administrator's guide at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/ and I
don't see a word about virtualization. If anyone can point me to the
right FM to R, I'll go!
Thanks!
Thomas
