** Description changed: Today I tried to boot an old Windows 7 vm. I am not sure the last time I booted it (probably not the whole 12.04 cycle). The domain xml had the following: - <video> - <model type='vga' vram='9216' heads='1'/> - <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> - </video> + <video> + <model type='vga' vram='9216' heads='1'/> + <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> + </video> However it would not boot unless I changed this to: - <video> - <model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/> - <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> - </video> + <video> + <model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/> + <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> + </video> + + I have several Windows XP guests as well, and I had to change all of + them to use 'cirrus' as well. This probably needs a release note as the error message was not at all clear and this may be a usability issues for people upgrading to precise.
