Hi, Unfortunately, it still doesn't solve the problem. However, I did some more research in the mailing lists and I found this post: http://www.mail-archive.com/k...@vger.kernel.org/msg06959.html He says that using an older bios.bin solves the problem. So I copied /usr/share/kvm in a directory in my home, I extracted bios.bin from the kvm-66 package and replaced it in this directory, then I run: $ kvm -m 768 -L path/to/old/bios/dir vista.qcow2 ...and it works!!! So, the real problem is in the bios file. I hope this helps to track down the issue. That user in the mailing list points to a specific commit, which was indeed between kvm-69 and kvm-70. As a sidenote, booting vista with --no-kvm works too now (I mean now with kvm-82, not with the old bios.bin), but this is rather unrelated I guess...
