I have similar issue on Ubuntu 7.10 and latest kvm-kernel and kvm-userspace ( 05.Nov.2007 ). Guest: Windows Xp SP1 or Windows 2000 SP4 . With linux guest i don't have any problem... at lest with out splash screen. MY hardware: Pentium D 940 on i945g+ICH7.
-no-acpi and/or -no-kvm-irqchip dusn't solw this problem for me. Only way is to start with -no-kvm or with old ( ubuntu version ) kvm. Syslog return me this if i try to boot windows guest [ 354.894085] kvm: guest NX capability removed [ 384.669292] apic write: bad size=1 fee00030 [ 384.669695] Ignoring de-assert INIT to vcpu 0 [ 385.142467] Ignoring de-assert INIT to vcpu 0 with linux guest only: [ 354.894085] kvm: guest NX capability removed François Delawarde schrieb: > Hi, > > I could try with kvm-50 and acpi enabled (same Intel Pentium D machine, > same parameters: smp=2): > > Both Windows XP SP2 and Windows XP 64 first installation step goes > perfectly, but hang right after first reboot (on "Press a key to boot on > CD..."), and after manual restart, the second installation phase starts > well but hang at a random point (usually on windows start screen or on > "initializing hardware" later during the installation). > > I'll try with -no-acpi and/or -no-kvm-irqchip ASAP, sorry I couldn't > answer for a while. > > François. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
