Description:
Installing Windows 10 1809 (ISO from MS site) in Qemu, I'm getting the following errors at post installation process after choosing a region: OOBEKEYBOARD, OOBEZDP, OOBEREGION, OOBEEULA. Pressing "Skip" or "Retry" does not help — after waiting for some time, one of the mentioned errors occur again, neither forcefully shutting down a VM and starting it up again makes any changes (this is mentioned as a solution on MS site). Doing the last action, though, sometimes brings a different dialog, where I can choose the country, timezone, keyboard layout etc., then on the next screen Windows prompts that it may try to repair the error by downloading some update (the VM has network access), after agreeing with that and waiting for some time, I'm still getting one of those OOBE* errors. The installation on VirtualBox had similar problems, but after several reboots and pressing few times "Skip" and "Retry" the installation proceeded (not sure why exactly, as I've changed some settings in VB during this). Additional info: Qemu version 3.1.0 Kernel: 4.19.16-1-lts My configuration: #!/bin/bash qemu-system-x86_64 \ -machine q35 \ -enable-kvm \ -cpu host \ -m 2G \ -net nic -net bridge,br=virbr0 \ -vga std \ -soundhw hda \ -drive file=./windows10_1809,format=qcow2,media=disk,if=virtio,l2-cache-size=4M \ -usb Steps to reproduce: Install Windows 10 1809 in Qemu |
This task depends upon
I also feel like it is needed to mention this happens whether virtio is used for the install disk or not.
In my case, this does not occur with Virtualbox at all though. This might mean both of us might be doing something wrong with QEMU...?
