Hi, New to the list but not to Linux. There has been a discussion on the "Fedora Users" list about an anomaly that's been seen with FC13 64bit and installing XP as a guest.
It's a standard FC13 installation on a machine with an Intel i7 and 4G Ram. When the XP installation finishes the initial text style part of its install process and reboots to run the GUI part of the install process the virtual machine fails to boot it from the virtualised hard disk. But if its set to boot from the CD or, in my case, the iso image of a XP install CD and its allowed to time out its initial question "Press any key to boot from CD....." then the virtual machine starts up and completes the XP installation. One the installation is finished, similar behaviour is seen to get the XP virtual system to start up. If I change the setting in virt-manager to boot from the Hard Disk image the boot of the VM fails but leaving it set to boot from the install CD allows it to start normally after allowing the initial question to timeout I have cc'd Suvayu Ali on this posting as he has also observed similar behaviour. The thread on the Fedora Users list is here -> http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2010-June/374730.html Any suggestions.
