Windows 7 installation DVD can't boot in qemu 2.6.0/OVMF
With Qemu 2.5.50 (compiled from git some time ago) I can boot Windows 7 x64 installation DVD as follows:
~/code/qemu-v2/bin/slic-v2/native/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
-machine type=pc,accel=kvm \
-enable-kvm \
-cpu host \
-m 2048 \
-vga cirrus \
-boot d \
-drive if=pflash,file=/vms/ovmf_x64_firstrun.bin,format=raw \
-cdrom /vms/win7_sp1.iso \
-monitor stdio
This bug suggests different vga options https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1581936. Here's the behaviours I'm getting with 2.6.0:
std - "Starting Windows" with wavering flag hangs indefinitely
cirrus - at "Starting Windows" wasps of light freeze before assembling into a flag
qxl - "Starting Windows" with wavering flag hangs indefinitely
virtio - "Starting Windows" with wavering flag hangs indefinitely
