Hi Itamar,<br>
<br>
I tried installing windows8 enterprise 32 bit as ovirt guest but<br>
bootloader failed to load with error 0x00005d .<br>
host machine support vt & vt-d.<br>
Same thing is happening while installing windows 8 in centos 6.2 host.<br>
windows8 is not listed in guest support option in ovirt 3.1/rhel 6.3.<br>
<br>
some google results showed that its because windows 8 is not supporting IDE.<br>
There is no option for sata controller in any of the above<br>
virtualization solutions.<br>
If its happening due to some other thing could you please let me know<br>
the how to make it work.<br>

first, please open a bug for not allowing IDE device for windows 8 (2012?) OSs (since 3.2 added them to list of OSs).<br>
second, ronen - are there community available virtio-block drivers for windows 8 Jithin can try to install with?<br>
(Jithin, you would need to attach a virtual floppy (vfd) to the guest during guest OS install to provide it with the driver).<br>
<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
Windows 8 guest is supported in ovirt?<br>
Any plan since it has some issues with qemu sata support.<br>
<br>
<br>
can you please elaborate on the issue?<br>
