d.bech Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I'm trying to install Windows 10 64bit English after previously using English International. (both ISOs are from microsofts website) This time when I get up to browsing to my virtio iso to tell windows where to find it's drivers it reports that it could not find any new drivers for the hardware installed halp? This worked fine in the past. virtio: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/latest-virtio/virtio-win.iso - Just tried 0.1.102 (the current stable) and am getting the same results - Also tried https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.105-1/ - and https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.110-2/ - and https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.110-1/ XML: <domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'> <name>Windows 10</name> <uuid>fc8280c4-7269-a6dd-ebdf-41fd12e5cf5e</uuid> <description>Windows 10 64bit</description> <metadata> <vmtemplate name="Custom" icon="windows.png" os="windows"/> </metadata> <memory unit='KiB'>10485760</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>10485760</currentMemory> <memoryBacking> <nosharepages/> <locked/> </memoryBacking> <vcpu placement='static'>4</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='0'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='1'/> <vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='2'/> <vcpupin vcpu='3' cpuset='3'/> </cputune> <resource> <partition>/machine</partition> </resource> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-2.3'>hvm</type> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <hyperv> <relaxed state='off'/> <vapic state='off'/> <spinlocks state='off'/> </hyperv> <kvm> <hidden state='on'/> </kvm> </features> <cpu mode='host-passthrough'> <topology sockets='1' cores='4' threads='1'/> </cpu> <clock offset='localtime'> <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/> <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/user/boot/Windows 10/vdisk1.img'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='virtio'/> <boot order='1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/mnt/user/ISOs/Win10_1511_English_x64.iso'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <boot order='2'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/mnt/user/ISOs/virtio-win-0.1.112.iso'/> <target dev='hdb' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='nec-xhci'/> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'/> <controller type='ide' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:ce:26:89'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target type='serial' port='0'/> </console> <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/Windows 10.org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x045e'/> <product id='0x02e6'/> <address bus='1' device='6'/> </source> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x17a0'/> <product id='0x0303'/> <address bus='1' device='12'/> </source> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x046d'/> <product id='0xc52b'/> <address bus='1' device='5'/> </source> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x8087'/> <product id='0x07dc'/> <address bus='1' device='9'/> </source> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <address bus='1' device='2'/> </source> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <address bus='1' device='3'/> </source> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <address bus='1' device='8'/> </source> </hostdev> <memballoon model='virtio'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='ioh3420,bus=pci.0,addr=1c.0,multifunction=on,port=2,chassis=1,id=root.1'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,bus=root.1,addr=00.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=00:1b.0,bus=root.1,addr=01.0'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=01:00.1,bus=root.1,addr=00.1'/> </qemu:commandline> </domain> unraid-diagnostics-20160113-2100.zip Quote Link to comment
saarg Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 You might want to try older virtio versions to see if that helps. Quote Link to comment
d.bech Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 You might want to try older virtio versions to see if that helps. Just finished downloading 0.1.102 Quote Link to comment

saarg Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I know 105 and 110 works with Windows 10. Try those out. When you choose the directory to search in, you do choose viostor\w8.1\amd64? Quote Link to comment
jonp Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Acquire your Windows 10 installation media from Microsoft directly. Some ISOs seem to have an issue with loading the virtio drivers. This works 100% of the time if you just download Win10 from MS directly. Quote Link to comment

Just gave both of those a try, getting the same results EDIT: Oh and yea I am going to viostor\w8.1\amd64 some versions have viostor\w10\amd64 which I've been trying aswell Quote Link to comment
d.bech Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Gonna try out a student version of Win10 I have from uni Quote Link to comment
d.bech Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 So I was trying the English International ISO while I was waiting for the EDU ISO to download. In this iso I'm not asked for drivers until I get to the partitioning section and it allows me to install the drivers. In the non international ISO it asks me for drivers right after I hit install. Small difference but maybe it means something? Quote Link to comment

Small difference but maybe it means something? Specifically it's saying a MEDIA driver your computer needs is missing. This could be a DVD, USB or Hard Disk driver. Quote Link to comment

d.bech Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Urgh, yea I have no idea what to do. I might just buy a key for the English International/UK version and be done with it. At least I know that works. Quote Link to comment
jonp Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 This one has me quite perplexed as I literally just installed Win 10 again myself the other day and had no issues using that copy of the ISO. Quote Link to comment

Maybe my install of unRAID is a little messed up? Or my combination of plugins? Think it's possible? Quote Link to comment

Well the fact is that you are able to get the windows installer going but it just doesn't think that the driver disk contains anything valid for that install. Shouldn't be a plugin or anything that can do that. 6.2 is fairly close to a release point, so I might suggest you wait for that to try again in case it's a bug in the 6.1.6 version with QEMU/KVM.

Super wigs me out that the UK version works perfectly. Is there a 6.2 beta about or anything? Quote Link to comment

drawde Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 which part is the install failing at? i've only used the win10 preview in a vm so i'm not sure about any later releases, but during the install process i only install i think the driver for storage, i don't install any of the other ones until i get into windows. it's the one called something "stor" Quote Link to comment

IIRC in my case it didn't ask for drivers. it would ask me where i wanted to install windows to, and there would be like no hdds listed, so i'd go in and install the stor driver and only then would i see the vdisk.

Yep that's what normally happens if I install the international English version. Quote Link to comment
Nowjon Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 So I just was trying to install Windows 10 and I had the Virtio and iso passed through as USB devices, changed them back to SATA and got past the prompt for the media driver (There was no virtio if I hit the browse so I think it couldn't load it) Quote Link to comment
