[Qemu-devel] Windows Server 2003 SP1 problems

["Info" <info@geodb.org>]

Hello

I have tested the installation of our Open Licensed 
Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition as a guest on a WinXP 
SP2 and Gentoo 2005.0 host. I used the CVS version of QEMU 
from 12.4.2005. KQEMU is from Fabrice web site. Here 
follows my experiences.

QEMU    | Installation | Installation
         | Windows 2003 | Service Pack 1
--------+--------------+---------------
SoftMMU | OK           | FAIL 1)
KQEMU   | FAIL 2)      | OK/FAIL 3)

1) During installation of the SP1 I get the error "RUNDLL: 
Error loading C:\WINDOWS\system32\syadm.cpl".

2) During loading the Windows 2003 Setup, QEMU terminate 
with a segmentation fault.

3) If I use the installation done with SoftMMU und install 
the SP1, I don't get the error from 1).

But the big problem is:

As soon as SP1 has been installed and I connect the 
Windows 2003 guest to the windows update server, it 
freezes, mouse and keyboard input stopped. If I wait long 
enough, Windows 2003 restarts it self, telling it has been 
recovered from a server failure. When freezed, the QEMU is 
using 100% CPU time from the host and under Linux host, I 
loose the keyboard output in the console (have to blindly 
exit and login again).

Has anybody successfully installed Windows Server 2003 
with Service Pack 1 ?

Any suggestion ?
