That patch would be much easier to test if someone were to provide a 
pre-compiled ACPI blob. (I'd love to test it).

You could try -no-acpi switch perhaps.

yesterday's snapshot of cvs is ok, minus the _commit fixes for win32/mingw
which are not yet inside the tar.bz2

I can see vista booting now...

I can't go any further than formatting an 8Gb qcow image.

Vista complains it can't use it. I'm using a win32/mingw
home-made compilation. Vista needs at least 6.7Gb

Is this a 64 bits limitation on win32/mingw ? how can
we get past it ? suggestions are welcome

Tried to format the qcow with another windows version but vista/

Vista is well known for their problems on formatting step with a  
variety of emulators.
In their developer's page they say to format the virtual disk first  
with XP for use of vista under VPC.

2006-06-09 Thread Christian MICHON

ok, I'll try that. But I also suspect a win32/mingw limitation on files
bigger than 2Gb, since gcc -dumpspecs does not show anything
related to -m64, which I'd expect to have to add to CFLAGS to
be able to use iso or qcow images bigger than 2Gb.

Apparently, experimental build of cygwin may carry 64 bits capable
gcc+binutils (I'll try that too)

2006-06-09 Thread Natalia Portillo
I used a precompiled binary that is on the google for installing a  
full opensuse 10 and made a 7gb qcow with no problem at all.


However,
try to do a dd=/dev/zero to grow the qcow first or so.

just, are you in NTFS xD?

On Mac OS X host Windows XP does refuse to install on a qcow image  
but raw images work.
I haven't tried, but I think it's the same with Vista. Installing in  
a raw image works fine.
