May 23, 201412 yr I'm not quite sure what's wrong. My Windows 7 VM installed just fine. My windows8.cfg file... name = 'windows8' builder = 'hvm' vcpus = '4' memory = '2048' device_model_version="qemu-xen-traditional" disk = ['phy:/mnt/cache/domains/Windows8/windows8.img,hda,w' , 'file:/mnt/user/backup/Programs/Windows_Slipstream_files/en_windows_8_x64_dvd_915440_unlocked.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'] vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:A8:B8:C8,bridge=br0,model=e1000' ] on_poweroff = 'destroy' on_reboot = 'restart' on_crash = 'destroy' boot = 'dc' acpi = '1' apic = '1' viridian = '1' xen_platform_pci='1' sdl = '0' vnc = '1' vnclisten = '0.0.0.0' vncpasswd = '' stdvga = '0' usb = '1' usbdevice='tablet' The message I'm getting is... A media driver your computer needs is missing. This could be a DVD, USB or Hard disk driver. If you have a CD, DV or USB flash drive with the driver on it, please insert if now. Ideas?
May 23, 201412 yr Out of curiosity, can you use that windows ISO to install on a bare metal machine? That way we can rule out the Windows ISO is the problem.
May 23, 201412 yr Author nevermind. It seems to have been related to the ISO I was trying to install. I changed to a different ISO, and it's installing as I type.
May 23, 201412 yr Author me too. I beat you to it by about 2 minutes. I had changed ISO's and started again, then tried to delete this post, but it wouldn't let me, so I posted my nevermind post. I guess it's safe to say 'great minds think alike'. Even if my mind isn't that great
