[Bug 1914294] Re: Windows XP displays black screen when smp option is used
The QEMU project is currently moving its bug tracking to another system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be closed already. Thus we are setting the bug state to "Incomplete" now. If the bug has already been fixed in the latest upstream version of QEMU, then please close this ticket as "Fix released". If it is not fixed yet and you think that this bug report here is still valid, then you have two options: 1) If you already have an account on gitlab.com, please open a new ticket for this problem in our new tracker here: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues and then close this ticket here on Launchpad (or let it expire auto- matically after 60 days). Please mention the URL of this bug ticket on Launchpad in the new ticket on GitLab. 2) If you don't have an account on gitlab.com and don't intend to get one, but still would like to keep this ticket opened, then please switch the state back to "New" or "Confirmed" within the next 60 days (other- wise it will get closed as "Expired"). We will then eventually migrate the ticket automatically to the new system (but you won't be the reporter of the bug in the new system and thus you won't get notified on changes anymore). Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience. ** Changed in: qemu Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1914294 Title: Windows XP displays black screen when smp option is used Status in QEMU: Incomplete Bug description: When I use Windows XP with the -smp option, the screen goes black.

[Bug 1914294] Re: Windows XP displays black screen when smp option is used
I restarted QEMU without the '-smp 2' option and Windows XP started working again. The only problem is the host CPU usage will stay at 100% even with the guest CPU load being close to 0%. The only way to fix this problem that I know currently is to reinstall Windows XP. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1914294 Title: Windows XP displays black screen when smp option is used Status in QEMU: New Bug description: When I use Windows XP with the -smp option, the screen goes black.
