I'll try asap with a fedora btw the pure kvm support on debian lenny seems good, while libvirt & C. suck: I had a Centos 5.3 guest (asterisknow) and network performance degraded with time: after 12 hours the guest was unable to connect to VoIP phones. Running KVM directly (with plain old rc.local) solved the problem. As said, the whole kvm stack on lenny is old and that maybe the problem.

boot=on option fails on win 2k/xp double boot
I've a windows (virtual) box with windows xp originally installed and a windows 2k lately installed If I run kvm from the command line for testing purposes everything is fine. If I run it with libvirt on the host, I does not boot, complaining with an I/O error the problem arises since libvirt adds boot=on on the first disk without that option, everything works fine do you have any hint on this? thanks smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature
