Re: Another NVMM question

2019-10-09 Thread Robert Nestor
No, this is an old Windows-95C that I’m trying to install under NVMM.  It did 
install and run under XEN and I tried using the same parameters in NVMM.  Had 
to specify no more than 768Meg of RAM, Pentium class CPU and VCPU=1 (which I 
assume would be SMP 1).

So I suspect it’s either a bug or a missing feature in NVMM.

I can’t try Windows 10/64 (or 32) as I don’t have a license or CD for it.

Windows 95 is unsupported by qemu at least in the softemu mode.

I don't know whether it could work with NVMM.

Any chance you are trying to install Windows 10/64 ? AFAIK it still
doesn't run with nvmm. The 32-bit version is fine. though.

I would need to check into the code, but it could miss a cpu instruction
in the decoder.

Please file a bug report for it. There will be need for a proper
reproduction steps and specification of your hardware and Window image.

Another NVMM question

2019-10-09 Thread Robert Nestor
Got a few systems installed and running under NVMM in NetBSD 9.0, but ran into 
this playing with a Windows installation.  It appears to be coming from NVMM 
and I’m curious if this is a current limitation in NVMM or are there some QEMU 
parameters which can be used to circumvent this.

NetBSD Virtual Machine Monitor accelerator is operational
