I have been attempting to setup a Windows 7 VM with GPU passthrough on Ubuntu 17.04 and have not had any success getting anything to boot, from hard drives, to ISOs, to even actual DVDs. I get the same result every time, QEMU telling telling me there are no bootable devices.
Here is my executable for the VM:
#!/bin/bash
vmname="windows7vm"
if ps -A | grep -q $vmname; then
echo "$vmname is already running." &
exit 1
else
# use pulseaudio
export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=pa
export QEMU_PA_SAMPLES=8192
export QEMU_AUDIO_TIMER_PERIOD=99
export QEMU_PA_SERVER=/run/user/1000/pulse/native
cp /usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_VARS.fd /tmp/my_vars.fd

-drive file=/home/keith/WIN_VM/virtio-win-0.1.141.iso,index=2,media=cdrom \
exit 0
fi
QEMU basically tells me
Boot failed: could not read the boot disk
Booting from DVD/CD...
Boot failed: Could not read from CDROM (code 0003)
and later:
No bootable device.
As well as the aforementioned issues, when I close the QEMU window, I am greeted with
unknown keycodes `(unnamed)', please report to [email protected]
./WIN_VM/win7vm.sh: line 24: -m: command not found
./WIN_VM/win7vm.sh: line 41: -drive: command not found
in the terminal. I am relatively new to most of this virtualization stuff, however I am pretty familiar with linux. Any possible solutions are welcome. Thanks in advance
