| === Post 10 Release Quirks ===
| |
| ==== Installing F10 DomU on F8 Dom0 ====
| |
| 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 thus creation fails. The version of {{package|python-virtinst}} on F8 does not know the kernel path changed. Try this test version and give it some positive karma if it works for you.

| === Windows KVM Guest and Paravirt NIC Drivers ===
| |
| As seen in [[FWN/Issue152#Using_VirtIO_Network_Driver_for_Windows_KVM_Guest|
| |
| FWN#152]]. The {{package|virt-manager}} GUI doesn't have the knobs in the UI yet to
| |
| enable [http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Virtio virtio] drivers. THe {{package|libvirt}} framework underneath does support it, so it can be done by hand. Here's how.
| |
| | |
| * [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=180599 Download] the drivers to guest and extract on desktop.
| |
| * Shutdown the guest <code>virsh shutdown winxp</code>
| |
| * Dump the libvirt XML <code>virsh dumpxml winxp > winxp-before.xml</code>, and change the network settings. To the <code><interface></code> block add <code><model type='virtio'/></code> like this:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| [root@seitan virt]# diff -u winxp-before.xml winxp-after.xml
| |
| --- winxp-before.xml 2008-12-01 17:37:39.000000000 -0800
| |
| +++ winxp-after.xml 2008-12-01 17:39:21.000000000 -0800
| |
| @@ -26,6 +26,7 @@

| <readonly/>

| <interface type='network'>

| |
| <mac address='54:52:00:03:09:01'/>
| |
| <source network='default'/>
| |
| <target dev='vnet0'/>
| |
| </pre>
| |
| * Redefine the domain with the altered config: <code>virsh define winxp-after.xml</code>
| |
| * Start the guest <code>virsh start winxp</code>, and install the drivers within Windows when the new hardware detection wizard pops up.
