Post 10 Release Quirks
- On a F8 dom0. Installing F9 domU pulls kernel from releases/9/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/xen/vmlinuz this does not exist on F10 and creation fails.
Windows KVM Guest and Paravirt NIC Drivers
As seen in
FWN#152. The
GUI doesn't have the knobs in the UI yet to
enable virtio drivers. THe virt-manager
framework underneath does support it, so it can be
done by hand. Here's how.
(not yet tested)
libvirt
- Download the drivers to guest
- Shutdown the guest
virsh shutdown domain
- Dump the libvirt XML
virsh dumpxml domain > domain.xml
, and change the network settings. To the<interface>
block add:
<model type='virtio'/>
- Start the guest
virsh start domain
and install the driver within Windows
