If you can get a hold of XP and your daughters games will work in it, they will go a lot faster. Just run a good Anti Virus.

I'm assuming you meant sha1sum because I ran it and sure enough, no match. I'm downloading it again. Hopefully I have better luck this time. Thanks for the tip!

[CentOS-virt] Windows 10 tech preview build 10130
Hi Everyone, Has anyone managed to install Windows 10 tech preview build 10130 as a KVM on a CentOS 6 host? I'm having problems that I haven't been able to get past. I can get the CD to boot and the install process to begin, but Windows keeps complaining about missing drivers. I've unsuccessfully tried the VirtIO ISOs from the Fedora project. The images I tried were: virtio-win-0.1-100.iso virtio-win-0.1.105.iso virtio-win-0.1.96.iso I have two IDE CD-ROMs attached which appears to be working fine (otherwise the installer wouldn't start and I wouldn't be able to traverse the VirtIO ISO). The NIC was an e1000, but I changed it to rtl8139. I've changed the HD from IDE, to Virtio iscsi to Virtio disk and none of that has seemed to help. I'd appreciate some pointers/tips.

Regards, Ranbir Hi Ranbir, I've installed it on a KVM guest on a CentOS 7 host. I haven't switched to VirtIO drivers yet except for the graphics (spice/QXL), so that I could resize the screen, etc. I've always had more success using the drivers obtained from running the spice guest tools vs. the virtio-win stuff. I use: http://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/spice-guest-tools/spice-guest-tools-0.100.exe I did have problems with blue screens at boot (to even get the installation going) until I changed the CPU type to kvm64 -Greg ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
