[kvm-devel] Out-of-box kvm-61 driver crash, first kvm problem ever, boo hoo...

2008-02-19 Thread duck
Just tried kvm-61. Ran up an existing, well-used, VM image. kvm-intel crashed instantly. First KVM problem ever in several months of use. (Haven't told the VMWare-huggers at work yet. They tend towards superciliousness in respect of open source virtualisation solutions.) Standardish Slackware

G'day folks. Apologies if this is a FAQ. Is there any way to get Windbg working between two Windows guests? I have recently switched from QEMU+KQEMU to QEMU/KVM (better speed and a Vista-ready BIOS got me interested). I never did get Windbg working at all with QEMU+KQEMU. Now I am rather closer
