Summary: Win2K does not boot anymore

Initial Comment:
cpu: AMD Phenom(tm) 9550 Quad-Core Processor
RAM: 4GB
kvm: 73 from sourceforge tar.gz
host kernel version/arch : 2.6.26-1-amd64
guest: Windows 2000 SP4 + 32 bit
command line:
/opt/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -boot c -hda win2Ksp4_Tormen.img -m 640 -localtime -net nic,model=e1000 -net user -usb -usbdevice tablet

behaviour with some switches:
normal:
blue screen and reboot never ending cycle (too fast to read error message)

-no-kvm-irqchip
blue screen with message
INACESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

-no-kvm-pit
freezes at the end of "white" initial graphical boot screen

-no-kvm switch
boots fine

Long time I don't try this image, so can't tell what KVM version broke the boot.

Make sure you have the latest BIOS on your host.

Try loading the kvm-amd module with the parameter 'npt=0'.

What is the HAL in use in your guest?
