I am running Windows server 2012 in a virtual machine under Debian Jessie.
I tried to follow the Red Hat tutorial in order to switch on the Virtio drivers:
1) I downloaded from Debian the virtio drivers; the current version of the virtio-win.iso is 0.1.110.
2) I shutdowned the vm. 3) I added a new CDROM in virt-manager for the vm. I attached the iso file.
4) I started the vm.
5) In device manager, under storage controllers, I installed a Red Hat Virtio SCSI controller by selecting in the attached CDROM the viostor for ws2012.
6) I shutdowned the vm.
7) In virt-manager, I removed the IDE disk and create a new one with the type virtio and with the same .img file.
8) I started the vm.
9) I have a BSOD :-(

What is wrong or what is missing in my procedure ? Hopes my question is clear ...

  • Run [Startup Repair](http://serverfault.com/q/423103/126632). Of course you should have [installed Windows with virtio storage drivers to begin with](http://serverfault.com/q/703675/126632). And [this](http://serverfault.com/a/452857/126632) is how you convert from IDE to virtio after installation. – Michael Hampton Oct 21 '15 at 14:41
  • the described procedure is for a new installation not for an existing vm ? – Bertaud Oct 21 '15 at 15:18

  • Yes , forget my question. The trick was to add a temporary disk !!! what about NetKVM and vioserial: shall I proceed as viostor, I mean add a temp network and a temp serial ? – Bertaud Oct 21 '15 at 15:51
