Hello,<div>I'm trying to port a windows XP vm created from F12 host to ah rh el 5.4 host.</div><div>The hd format is qcow2. I know that it is not supported in rh el, reading docs (and probably also in 5.5 it will not be supported).</div>
<div>I started with virsh dumpxml in F12 and then with virsh create in rh el 5.4.</div><div>I had to change the path to qemu-kvm, the "machine=" definition from "f13" to "pc" and audio card model from es1370 to ac97 and then I was able to create it.</div>
<div>Starting the vm in rh el 5.4 host I got it stuck at message</div><div>Booting from hd.... </div><div><br></div><div>The OS was already installed and restarted one time in F12 host...</div><div>If I set to boot from CD and put the Win xp one, then it probably recognizes that an xp os is already installed and starts saying</div>
<div>press any key in 10 seconds to start from cd</div><div><br></div><div>I don't press any key, and it correctly starts the winxp os form hd....</div><div>Actually I'm seeing that the same behavior is in place in F12 where I forgot to keep of the "boot from cd" option... ;-(</div>
<div>So it seems a general problem, perhaps about boot sector or something else...</div><div>Any clue on this and how to solve the need to keep the winxp cd inside to be able to boot?</div><div><br></div><div>Gianluca</div>
