A few days ago I posted on the fedora forum: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=289401 I can repeat the details in this thread if requested. The issue is that, with a fresh build of Fedora 18, updated to the most recent kernel and packages on an external USB ssd, my win2k VM boots on my laptop (Core i73720QM processor) but does not boot on my desktop system (Core i7-870 processor). I'm not sure whether this is a kvm issue or a kernel issue. I'll be glad to dig deeper, just let me what information is needed. Thanks.
