I am able to install windows 2003 64-bit on FC6 64-bit Dell Precision
490 until the win2k3 installer gets to asking about name/org and product
id, then the keyboard and mouse stops working alltogether in the virtual
machine. I've tried virt-install, virt-manger and modified example.hvm
file. I've also played with using vnc or sdl and turning on/off usb
without success. Has anyone else encountered this problem and found a
workaround?
