Subject: Windows XP activation regression in KVM-60
Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2008 14:34:36 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47C3265C.6040203@zombino.com> (raw)

Hi,

Original bug was submitted at http://bugs.debian.org/467043. The summary
is that installs of Windows XP from pre-kvm-60 (pre-59?), then upgrading
to kvm-60 or 61 causes Windows to trigger activation due to "computer
changed too much". Downgrading to kvm-58 or previous resolves the issue.

Haven't tested kvm-59 yet.

The kernel module is not part of the problem. Using kvm-60 kernel
modules with kvm-58 user part works.

CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+

I'm not quite sure what these changes can be, but is it possible revert
any changes that are causing this?

- Adam
