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. Of course you should have installed Windows with virtio storage drivers to begin with. And this is how you convert from IDE to virtio after installation. Commented Oct 21, 2015 at 14:41
  • the described procedure is for a new installation not for an existing vm ? Commented Oct 21, 2015 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 ? Commented Oct 21, 2015 at 15:51
