[Qemu-devel] [Bug 989225] [NEW] windows XP Standard PC HAL does not work with qemu-kvm >= 0.15

[Michael Chudobiak]

Public bug reported:

Basically, this is a clone of a Debian bug which is explained well here:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=647312

For some reason, the Debian bug has been archived, but I do not think
the issue has been fixed. Basically, mouse and network do not work for
older XP installs with the Standard PC HAL. New XP installs are fine.
Details in the Debian bug.

I am experiencing the same problems on a Fedora 16 64-bit host, with
older 32-bit Windows XP guests that worked fine in Fedora 15. The tablet
mouse and the network do not work, as described in the Debian bug. This
used to work in Fedora 15:

/usr/bin/qemu-kvm -hda /var/lib/libvirt/images/MikeWindows.img
-usbdevice tablet -m 2048 -k en-us -vga qxl -spice port=5930,disable-
ticketing

It does not work in F16, with:
address@hidden ~]# rpm -qa | grep qemu
qemu-common-0.15.1-4.fc16.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.15.1-4.fc16.x86_64
qemu-system-x86-0.15.1-4.fc16.x86_64
qemu-img-0.15.1-4.fc16.x86_64
gpxe-roms-qemu-1.0.1-4.fc16.noarch
