WinXP started up fine however, despite not finishing the install properly. It has not crashed so far :( so I cannot paste the text of the core dump here. I will post it if I get the error again.
To answer your other questions, I run Ubuntu amd64 version and kvm is from the Feisty repository and when I run it with -h option it says it is version 0.9.0 but that was for qemu I guess. kvm is in the universe repository in fesity and is version 16. How can I determine if VT is really being used because it is running very slow on window redrawing/mouse movement? --andrew -- GnuPG Key ID: ECB18ABA Fingerprint: FDF3 91FC F5BC 1164 E217 315E 337E 219B ECB1 8ABA
