How can I emulate Windows Server 2008 R2 with QEMU? / Cannot virtualize Win2K8 R2 using QEMU on Windows Host

1

I have used precompiled QEMU 2.2.0 (64-bit version) to emulate a PC running Windows Server 2008 R2. The Host OS is Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64-bit, and my CPU doesn't support Intel VT-x so I can't use any other virtualization software(e.g. VirtualBox, VMWare Player, Hyper-V,...).

I tried normal configuration and a VirtIO configuration for guest but none of them worked for me. This is the BSoD I get when I start the guest:

***STOP: 0x0000005D (0x00000000078BFBF9, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000)

To reproduce this error, I used this command:

C:\Program Files\qemu>qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2048 -boot d -drive file=WIN2k8R2.qcow2,if=virtio -cdrom WIN2k8r2.iso

Precompiled binaries are available at http://qemu.weilnetz.de/w64/
