Hi there,
I know it's in the supplementary channel and there is no srpm to rebuild windows drivers. But are these drivers anywhere available so that I can use them without a rhn subscription?
Thx Rainer

Yes, you can find the virtio-win drivers on fedora site : http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/virtio-win/latest/
The latest divers are signed by RedHat. You can use them without subscription.

I found two files in latest dir, one iso and one - I guess - floppy image.
The foppy image contains older drivers than what rh currently ships in EL6 while the iso has newer drivers. I'd go with the newer ones, but...
Are these drivers said to be compatible with the el6/c6 kvm stuff? I guess so, but just to be sure.
And on the iso I cannot find a win2003 dir:
drwxrwxrwx 4 tr tr 2048 4. Apr 10:53 Vista drwxrwxrwx 4 tr tr 2048 4. Apr 10:54 Win7 drwxrwxrwx 4 tr tr 2048 4. Apr 10:54 Wlh drwxrwxrwx 4 tr tr 2048 4. Apr 10:54 Wnet drwxrwxrwx 3 tr tr 2048 4. Apr 10:54 WXp drwxrwxrwx 4 tr tr 2048 4. Apr 10:53 XP
Which dir might be the right one for w2k3?
Thx Rainer

In fact, these drivers are not especially for el6/c6, but for KVM, in general. I use them with KVM 0.14, with windoxs 2003R2, 2008 and 2008 R2, and they work fine (on Proxmox,, based on Debian...) . On the iso, I use the virtio-net drivers from 'Vista' for 2008 R2 and from win7 for viostor (virtio disk). Fedora does not supply officially drivers for server versions of windows, but in fact Vista, 7 or XP (for 2003) works fine with 2008 R2... Just try, you can come back to non virtio drivers (e1000) if something looks wrong...

Yes, i will test for myself, thank you Alain for all this info.

YMMV, but the the server & desktop relations are thus:
XP <-> Server 2003(r2) Vista <-> Server 2008 Win7 <-> Server 2008r2
That information I gathered from reading M$ documentation from several sources online and in print.

In fact, in my experience, it is not so clear. For 2008 R2, I was able to find the virtio net drivers only under Vista... But viostor was only available under win7, and not under Vista...
