# kvm-mergeide
kvm-mergeide - Apply the mergeide.reg hack to kvm compatible windows images.

The mergeide fix relaxes the annoying windows requirements for same
hardware. This avoids 0x0000007B errors after you move system disks
to other hardware, e.g., from physical to virtual hardware.

This script applies the fix automatically.

## Install

    cd /opt
    git clone https://github.com/jakobadam/kvm-mergeide.git
    ln -s /opt/kvm-mergeide/kvm-mergeide.sh /usr/bin/kvm-mergeide

## Usage

    sudo kvm-mergeide WINDOWS_IMAGE

## TODO (maybe)

If there are situations where the control set of the registry hive is
not 001, mergeide_create_reg.py can extract the control set and create
a proper mergeide.reg. This should be incorporated into the shell script.
