[arch-general] failure to install w7 on VM

[Arno Gaboury]

Dear list,

I am trying with no sucess to install w7 on a VM on my Archlinux box.
I use virt-install,virtio,qemu, and i already managed to set up VM.

This time, after #virt-install --connect qemu///system --name=merdoz
--ram 4000 --cpu host --disk
path=/dev/vg0/lv_merdoz,bus=virtio,sparse=false,format=raw --cdrom
/var/lib/libvirt/images/isofiles/WindowsTiny.iso --description="merdoz
-vm guest on host magnolia" --graphics vnc --os-type=windows
--os-variant=win7  --video=vga --hvm --accelerate --nonetwork.


The libvirtviewer opens, and windows starts to install. The issue is it can not find the
disk (/dev/vg0/lv_merdoz) because drivers are not installed.

I read I needed virtio-win-0.1-30.iso.
I downloaded it, exctract the WIN7 folder with the drivers.
Then I exctract my win7.iso, put the WIN7 folder inside, then
$mkisofs -o win7.iso -J -r win7
and get a new iso file.

Unfortunately, when using it with virt-install, the file is not
recognized and windows can not boot: could not read (code 004).

1- Do I really need virtio.iso to get the drivers? If not, why w7
doesn't recognize my LV ?
2- how to add these drivers to my setup?

Thank you for help.
