Boot VM from a .img??


Recommended Posts

Ok that got it to boot, but then it hangs at a screen like the attached.

 

 

Thanks for all the help so far, maybe this just doesn't work... But seems like there should be a way. This is what I'm trying to run:

The file they give you is a USB drive image.

 

When it boots it does go to a blank Ubuntu purple color screen, then to the attached. Maybe it doesn't like the drive type or something?

It's a customized version of Ubuntu... I'm sure it's not booting due to something it doesn't like about the qemu settings. I'm just not sure how to figure out what that is.

 

I downloaded the image and got it booted.

 

You can use either a linux or ubuntu template, set bios to Seabios, and under primary disk select the .img file and change bus type to USB.

 

I didn't log in to the os, so I don't know what other adventures await you.

Been looking for the same for "CHOSN" seems like its working!

 

Spend some time trying to convert IMG to ISO - been thinking to use the IMG directly (but stayed just with that :D )

 

Sadly the IOMMU Groups  on my board (Asus Crosshair Hero VI) are able only to add 2 cards :( 

 

 

 

Thanks a lot
