[Spice-devel] cannot boot from virtio / no -qxl option

[Roman Lazarev]

Howdy all!

>
Wanted to drop my 2c as well... today I finally was able to build v9 and a
32-bit spice-clinet (basically the whole unstable stack). My other set of
nodes are on stable 0.4. However I didn't have a chance to change any
windows drivers to unstable...

>
The main issue are

>
a) was unable to boot from virtio

> b) the boot on ide takes forever to boot a windows xp based machine, even
though on 0.4 it takes less than a minute (not sure about exact timeing, but
its mad fast). I have tried both v8 and v9. I have also tried both raw and
qcow, no difference... the slowness was at the windows boot splash screen...

>
What I'm really after is being able to use KSM with 0.12.50 qemu

>
Any help would be much appreciated.

>
PS: I was able to get a USB device connected from the client to the server,
using www.usb-server.com bits. usbip was very unstable and upon connection
to the VM was disconnecting a shared device
