Problem with Ubuntu Edgy and AMD X2

[Franco Spinelli <frspin-IWqWACnzNjyonA0d6jMUrA@public.gmane.org>]

I am testing kvm on my new PC
MB is Asus M2NPV-VM with AMD CPU X2.
Installed OS is Ubuntu Edgy

I get kvm tarball and compiled it.

After installing gcc 3.4 I begin compile step

On Ubuntu Edgy there is no uuid/uuid.h file so I have grab it from tar 
file at Ubuntu repository and put it in qemu subdir of kvm

On Ubuntu Edgy libuuid is in /lib/libuuid.so.1 so I make a link from it 
to /lib/libuuid.so

After this, I got kvm compile and install.
I modprobe new module without any problem, create a disk image and 
begint to install Windows XP on that.
At formatting step it take a long time (about 25 min for a 6Gb of disk) 
with 90% of CPU and only very little i/o activity.At about 99%, exit 
from install with a message "impossible to format".

Using dmesg command I geta lot of this error:

[17192500.496000] kvm: unhandled rdmsr: 0xc0000081

I have also tried a workaround necessary for Xen on my MB. In install 
procedure of XP I hit F5 key and used "Standard PC" from menu choice, 
without any change


Booting with -no-acpi flag an image file made by qemu (for first install 
step) and by Xen (for install completition)  boot and work but I am not 
able to activate network connection. I find a network adapter, I can 
configure it but I have no response pinging other LAN PC.
