Summary: KVM crash with Windows XP guest because of ACPI

Initial Comment:
Host: Fedora7, 64-bit, Intel CPU, KVM-48.

When I start Windows XP guest, that was installed with ACPI enabled, without ACPI in KVM, KVM crashes.

The command is:
[alexeye@pink-intel ~]$ ./qemu-kvm -hda /isos/disks-vm/alexeye/WindowsXP-Pro.vmdk -m 512 -no-acpi

With -no-kvm it stucks, but not crashes.

The same crash happens with "-no-acpi -no-kvm-irqchip" parameters.

Hi

It can be due to different HALs in XP, the HAL thats installed with ACPI
doesnt match the one neeeded without ACPI. Its the same as You are
moving an installed XP to an older machine without ACPI.

Hi,

Looking through old bugs - please let us know if this still happens with
recent QEMU/KVM. If not, lets close this bug.

Thanks,

Message:
With recent KVM kernel 2.6.32 and qemu-kvm 0.12.1, an XP guest installed
with ACPI no longer takes down qemu-kvm when booted with the -no-acpi
flag.

As expected Windows refuses to boot and offers safe mode and then bails,
since too many system parameters is changed, but qemu-kvm survives it
fine.

Closing
