Vista wants at least ACPI 2.0. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2006-11/msg00255.html qemu 0.9.0 moves the ACPI tables into the bochs bios where they belong - should be just a matter of updating these tables and other misc code. Although IIRC ACPI doesn't work very well with KVM/KQEMU at the moment for other reasons. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
