WinXP started up fine however, despite not finishing the install properly. It has not crashed so far :( so I cannot paste the text of the core dump here. I will post it if I get the error again. To answer your other questions, I run Ubuntu amd64 version and kvm is from the Feisty repository and when I run it with -h option it says it is version 0.9.0 but that was for qemu I guess. kvm is in the universe repository in fesity and is version 16. How can I determine if VT is really being used because it is running very slow on window redrawing/mouse movement? --andrew --=20 GnuPG Key ID: ECB18ABA Fingerprint: FDF3 91FC F5BC 1164 E217 315E 337E 219B ECB1 8ABA --------------enigFD8BFFBCC565E5351DBC387F Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGFPRwM34hm+yxiroRAtRpAJ9wknqwCu/yySb5zHDx0aJu3+v2MgCeJj9+ GdqH/Um37Ywe158UqOLeScE= =cSmA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigFD8BFFBCC565E5351DBC387F-- --===============0007203266== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
