Hello
I’ve downloaded the r1alpha4 iso file. The checksums were ok. Running haiku in qemu as a cd-live is ok.
I’ve made a virtual disk to install Haiku on a vm : the installation goes fine but encounter an I/O error.
The virtual disk was formatted in qcow2 with 1Go and all that launched with 1024 Mb. Afterwhat I’ve formatted this disk in beos fs.
Is there something wrong in these setting ?
I use precise-puppy as a frugal install (that could be the explanation)
I could use the vmdk image instead if this is a kind of pre-installed virtual machine (am I wrong?)
Beside that, HaikuOs is very nice and I would like to experiment it
Thanks
Try the VMDK image. 
And… give feedback.
Finally, you can also test recent nightlies.
I’m unlucky
First I have tried the blank-bfs image disk to install haiku from the iso. Same problem.
So I have launched the haiku VM, it runs but my pad and even an usb mouse aren’t recognized.
And I’m not a specialist about qemu-kvm so, what can I do ?
Haiku nightlies were runing on the Windows version of Qemu a month ago, as shown by a GCI students work:
http://www.haiku-os.org/guides/virtualizing/qemu
(Mind the over sized images on that page! I added a side bar to the page, but can not fix the images as humdinger somehow removed my editing rights for it)
There are a few Linux guides for other VMs listed on our virtualizing page: haiku-os.org/guides/virtualizing
Thanks for the link.
But I don’t have any GUI, I do the job with commande line. I have tried the GUI Qtemu but it seems to miss the kvm’s gears.
I can envisage that my qemu-kvm installation is uncompleted, misconfigured and so on (don’t have installed lib-virt, virt-manager or some related ubuntu’s package - I use Precise-puppy which doesn’t use apt-get indeed).
So far I have tried the Syllable’s VM and it works fine : no problem with mouse/pad, keyboard and even network.
May be I should try the Haiku’s nightly build…
