It works under KVM-16 (which is the version that ships with Feisty) and up to kvm-24 (I did a manual binary search so a few versions were skipped). versions 25, 26, 27 stall at boot (I wait several minutes but Windows never starts) and crashing with "unhandled vm exit: 0x9" happens with KVM-33. I'm not on which precise version where the crashing begins (let me know if that would be useful). A possibly unimportant note, I noticed that the later versions (above 27) compile the executable as "qemu-system-x86_64" where as earlier versions build it as "qemu". My system is a Centrino Duo, so it's a i386. I'm not sure if this matters but I just thought I would mention it. Let me know if you have any more questions, Cam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
