Re: [Qemu-devel] Windows Server 2003 SP1 problems

["Info" <info@geodb.org>]

Hello Hetz

Thank you for replaying. I assigned 192 MB RAM to the 
guest. It's not a lot, but after the basic install, 
Win2003 use 75 MB of RAM. The "/dev/shm" is reported to be 
256 MB and I have to keep a little bit below. Otherwise, 
I'll have the well know bus error. Will try to change 
"/dev/shm" to 384 MB. Will need to find out how.
