Good luck ;-) Imho, it'd be quite handy to keep a timeline of working/non-working guests in a table somewhere, and which qemu versions and options they were observed to work or break with. > Also, thanks to Andre Przywara, whole winNT thing works but it requires > -cpu qemu64,level=1 (or level=2 or =3), -- _not_ with default CPU.
