qemu ISO Boot Failure (CDROM boot failure code : 0004)

[Volkan YAZICI <yazicivo@ttmail.com>]

Hi,

Via qemu, trying to install Windows Server 2003 Standard (x86-64) on a
machine which has AMD Turion 64 X2 processor. When I try to fire up qemu
using CDROM ISO image

  # dd of=/home/windows/windows-20G.img \
  > bs=1024 seek=$[1024 * 1024 * 20] count=0
  # qemu -boot d -localtime -m 512 \
  > -cdrom /home/windows/windows-server-2003-standard-x86-64-sp2.iso \
  > -hda /home/windows/windows-20G.img

qemu complains that

  ata0 master: QEMU HARDDISK ATA-7 Hard-Disk (20480 MBytes)
  ata1 master: QEMU CD-ROM ATAPI-4 Cd-Rom/Dvd-Rom

  CDROM boot failure code : 0004
  Boot from Cd-Rom failed
  FATAL: Could not read the boot disk

I searched previous posts and read related posts/articles listed by
google, but nothing useful. Yes, I can use the original CDROM but I
wonder what's wrong with using an ISO image. I'll be appreciated if
anybody can help.


Regards.
