I'm running a physical-to-virtual Windows XP Dell OEM instance on Ubuntu 8.04.1 kvm-62 with kvm-intel and bridged networking.
After early BSOD difficulty with the output of VMWare Converter 3.0.3, I did manage to get the XP P2V instance ready to run under kvm after changing from the Windows XP HAL ACPI to "Standard PC" in device manager under VMWare Player. After a complete redetection of system hardware and resources (perhaps this was the true reason it started to work), the instance must now be activated again. It works very well, but must be shut down at the "You may now turn off the PC". This is a headless kvm server for a few straggle windows apps, and the kvm instance will seldom be rebooted. Should I activate as Standard PC, or attempt to convert the HAL back to ACPI. Is there still any performance penalty for ACPI with kvm-62? What is the kvm shutdown behavior with an ACPI HAL?
