Hi, I'm running a 32-bit Windows 2003 R2 guest with -smp 4 on a dual Xeon 5130 (Intel Core 2 Duo) server. The the installer hung when I tried to install with -smp 4, but it went okay with just one CPU. After installing, it runs fine with -smp 4 (ACPI Multiprocessor HAL).
It seems to be running reasonably well apart from some problem with the CPU usage. It seems there is one process, shown as "system" under task manager which is pegging one of the CPUs all the time. I can even see it migrating between the CPUs in the windows task manager. I saw one post to the list which looked similar (back on kvm-44), but it doesn't look like any conclusion was reached: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.kvm.devel/7371/ Anyway, I'd love to get this working properly - let me know what I can do to help. Some further system info below. Cheers, Kevin. -- Guest command line: kvm \ -smp 4 \ -localtime -m 2048 \ -hda kvm-2003-00.img \ -net nic,vlan=0,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:5F,model=rtl8139 \ -net tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap9,script=no \ -vnc 127.0.0.1:9 -usbdevice tablet \ -daemonize Some host details: $ uname -a Linux flexo 2.6.24 #1 SMP Fri Feb 1 15:10:47 CST 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ dmesg | grep "loaded kvm" loaded kvm module (kvm-60) $ kvm -h | head -n 1 QEMU PC emulator version 0.9.0-cvs (kvm-60), Copyright (c) 2003-2007 Fabrice Bellard ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
