Hi,
everything is in the subject. I'm running Debian SID with libvirt-bin
0.7.2-3 and virt-manager 0.8.0-2.
I had 4 VMs created manually some times ago (Lenny, Ubuntu 9.04, W2k and
XPHome) which I migrate to libvirt. Both Linux are booting well, both
Windows not: they start but suddenly reboot.
On W2K I see the white starting bannier increasing on the bottom off the
screen, and when done, reboot.
On XPh at the time where the booting Windows screen should appear, VM
restart. The I get the famous "Windows hasn't shutdown clearly, do you
want to start in safe mode ... aso)
On both systems, after first fail reboot, I can try and try again,
always the same. If I stared VMs manually, no problem!
My start script -which started without any problem my XPHome VM- is:
#!/bin/bash
AUDIO="es1370"
VGA="std"
sudo /usr/bin/kvm -localtime -cdrom /dev/scd0 -boot c -hda
/media/XP/vdisk.img -hdb /media/XP/vdisk1.img -m 512 -soundhw $AUDIO
-vga $VGA\
-net nic,vlan=0 -net vde,vlan=0,sock=/var/run/vde.ctl -usb -smb
public -monitor tcp:127.0.0.1:32011,server,nowait &
The XML file for the same VM which fail on boot is:

The disk image from all Linux VMs are also raw.
On another server I installed from scratch on LVM partition an XPPro
Windows VM without any problem.
Thanks for any hint.

Can you get the libvirt QEMU args from the log file
/var/log/libvirt/qemu/XPHome.log
so we can compare them to the args your custom script
used. There will probably be some minor difference that's
confusing windows

Can you get the libvirt QEMU args from the log file
/var/log/libvirt/qemu/XPHome.log
so we can compare them to the args your custom script
used. There will probably be some minor difference that's
confusing windows
LC_ALL=C

tablet -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 -k en-us -vga cirrus -soundhw es1370
char device redirected to /dev/pts/6
Running this command in a terminal i get
TUNGETIFF ioctl() failed: Bad file descriptor
TUNSETOFFLOAD ioctl() failed: Bad file descriptor
and VM is *NOT* starting!
There is no tap interface but a virbr2. Anyway, it's the same for Linux
VMs -I checked in logs- and they start.
Thanks for your support.

The most likely problem here is that the libvirt args have acpi turned
off. Add the '<acpi/>' element within <features> in the libvirt XML.
That should get rid of the '-no-acpi' flag libvirt added.
One more likely problem here is the different of 'cirrus' vs 'std'.
Windows hates having its graphics card changed behind its back :-)
Try changing the libvirt XML for <video> to 'vga' instead of
'cirrus'.
That will make libvirt spawn QEMU with '-vga std' which matches your
script.
char device redirected to /dev/pts/6
Running this command in a terminal i get
TUNGETIFF ioctl() failed: Bad file descriptor
TUNSETOFFLOAD ioctl() failed: Bad file descriptor
That's not a problem - libvirt passes the file descriptor to QEMU when
it starts it.

Yes, that did the trick, thanks!

Done, Windows will now like his new graphic card ;-)
