Greetings oVirt team
I'm using "Version 4.5.7-0.master.20240327074810.git14bca0502d.el8 on
CentOS Stream 9"
I have occasion to restore a windows backup image for the purpose of data
extraction. To accomplish this I need to boot off a Server 2008R2 ISO. The
machine to be restored was UEFI based originally and so it is required to
be UEFI for the restoration process.
I seem to be having a problem with booting off of the ISO image in the
required UEFI-based system. In pursuit of a solution I've read on some of
the other forums about this same problem on other KVM-based platforms.
Booting that same ISO after changing the VM to BIOS works flawlessly. In
the articles and threads I've read there is mention of hyper-v services
that load during the guest boot process that are causing the ISO boot to
hang.
Is it possible to disable (or is it even necessary to disable)
"hv_time,hv_relaxed,hv_spinlocks=0x2000" in the "Custom Properties"
section
of the VM config ?
If any of you have some insight into this problem and a possible solution
I'd appreciate the feedback.
Never tried but just a guess, as in the past I had the opposite problem
importing from vSphere.
What does it happen if you change the VM operating System in oVirt to
"Other OS", or even to Linux?
