I'm pretty sure Linux (well, Debian Etch) works fine. I could only get Windows to install with -no-acpi, but I run it with the following (if this is at all useful): kvm -no-acpi -m 256 -hda $IMAGE -net nic -net tap,script=/etc/kvm/kvm-ifup Basically, the installer seems to work fine, but Windows seemed to have problems after installing post-SP2 updates. Maybe that's why not everybody is seeing it yet. -- Cheers, Alistair. 137/1 Warrender Park Road, Edinburgh, UK. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
