I've been trying to get "virsh shutdown" to work against an XP-Pro guest with no luck so far. It seems to have no effect - I have to run "virsh destroy" instead which is less than desirable. I have enabled <acpi> in the domain xml so I think the problem is on the guest side. A couple of questions:
1) How can I confirm whether the XP guest has ACPI enabled. I actually think it doesn't because when I look at the "ACPI Multiprocessor PC" device driver name, it lists "hal.dll". This is NOT ACPI enabled according to this site: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457123.aspx. Am I reading this correctly? 2) I tried to enable ACPI at install time by bringing up virt-viewer and pressing F5 on the blue install screen as instructed here: http://www.computing.net/answers/windows-xp/enable-acpi-in-xp-without-reinstall-/36056.html But F5 didn't have any effect. Has anybody else been able to get this to work? I'm running KVM 0.12.2-0.4.1 and Libvirt 0.7.6-1.2.3 Thanks.
