Re: installing win2k 32 bit with kvm on AMD 64 bit (dual core)

Hello,

Thanks for your answer.

Indeed , I am trying it with FC6, where the kernel is 
Xen kernel. 

 The thing is that with FC6 , the default installation

has a Xen kernel; Does anyone know if I can run a 
non-xen kernel on it / disable somehow the xen kernel
and work with ordinary kernel?  (sorry, I don't know
much about
Xen and FC kernels).

Or , if I am using Fedora Core distros, 
must I run this installation under  Fedore Core 5 (or
lower)
so it will not have this crash ? 

(Fedora Core 5 and lower does not have 
a Xen kernel by default)

Regards,
Xu
