I have been using virt-manager for a long long time now.
Recently i have been facing an issue... when i try to install windows xp (sp3) with multiprocessor
support (i.e. vcpu allocation > 1) the system installs fine, but then virt-manager displays very high
cpu (24-30%) utilization, even when the xp guest is idle. also when i try to poweroff the system, i get the "It is now
Safe to poweroff your computer" message and also when this message is displayed the cpu utilzation is around
24-30%.
After posting a similar mail to the xend-users mailing list, i was advised to use ACPI=1 and APIC=1 in
the domU configuration. But since i am using virt-manager i have no idea where i should put these values and
whether i need to specify these before installing xp or whether it can be done after installing.
Or should i create ahand written domU configuration and use "xm create" to create the virtual machine?
Please Help
