I'm running a Ubuntu 10.04 Server 64bit Maschine (XEON) without Desktop. (Just Bash & SSH) I installed KVM with the Ubuntu minimum Setup. (Ubuntu Server installation - First Setup Screen - F4 - Minimum Install with Virtual.) I manage & install my Ubunutu VMs with virsh & virt-install. Now I need to run 2 Windows Server 2008 64bit VMs. I already tried this: Code: virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n vmwin2k8 -r 1024 --disk path=server2k8.qcow2,size=50 --cdrom /mnt/data/win2k8.iso --vnc --noautoconsole --os-type windows --os-variant win2k8 --vnclisten=192.168.1.15 Now i conntect with VNC. Everything is working. I press install. Setup is starting. Then Windows askes me for CD-Rom drivers. I can search for new drivers and can access the CD-ROM. Further i can change CD-Roms ISOs with "virsh" or add the real CD-ROM Drive Code: attach-disk vmwin2k8 --type cdrom /dev/sr0 hdc But there is the catch: I have no CD-Rom Driver. Never needed one, never heard of it. What kind of driver do I need here? Without the correct driver I can't get past this setup screen. I tried the Virtio Drivers Storage Driver, but no success. Virtio Can somebody give me a hand here? A Tutorial would be even better. Ubuntu minimal VM-Host Installation without a Desktop. Installing & managing Windows & Ubuntu VMs with SSH. Thanks in advance, Intraweb P.S: Yes I know this one here.
