[ovirt-users] Server 2012 R2 no drive found

Wed May 28 12:42:10 UTC 2014

Hi Neil,

I'll test Windows Server 2012 R2 again with IDE and VirtIO disks (and 
e1000 and VirtIO network cards) with VirtIO-drivers from RHEL channel 
and drivers bundles with spice guest agent and will let you know the 
results. Please keep in mind that it will take some time...
Btw, I will use Windows 2012 R2 english, 180-days trial...

Regards,
René
