Re: Cannot install Win XP on AMD X2 with kvm-51

[John Clemens <jclemens-X2/pQFfLUrBl57MIdRCFDg@public.gmane.org>]

I'm having the same issues as Werner, and using the kvm userspace from
kvm-44 and the kernel modules from kvm-51 does not help.  Same issue at
the same place in the install.  AMD turion X2 1.6Ghz, gutsy
2.6.22-14-generic host kernel.

It always fails, with either the IRQL_... error, or I've also seen
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (received this morning while trying kvm-51
userspace and kernel).  I've also seen INVALID_PFN occasionally, but I
haven't seen this with kvm-51 yet.

Using -no-kvm-irqchip is much worse.. the boot freezes very early in the
boot process with either a stop kernel message or the fading in windows
logo screen freezes half way in.  commandline used:

sudo ./qemu-system-x86_64 -m 256 -boot c
-cdrom /imgs/EN_WINDOWS_XP_PRO_WITH_SP2.ISO -hda /imgs/winxp.qcow
-vnc :1 -net user -net nic,model=ne2k_pci,mac=00:11:22:33:44:55
-no-kvm-irqchip

I will try using -no-kvm now.
