I had an installation of WinXP that took a long time to install but finally had running fairly well runing from a commandline call to qemu-kvm (though I never have got the hang of how the network the damned thing!) But then, after a recent update, qemu-kvm would crash every time I tried to run it. OK I thought, there's something new, so I tried to create a new VM. I still can't get anything useful to build with WinXP from virt-manager, but did manage to get it to instal by running qemu-kvm from the command line again. And it works fine. Right up to the moment I install XP SP 2. After that, all I get is this: --------------------------------------------------------------- # qemu-kvm -localtime -no-acpi -m 512 CC3_1 Could not configure '/dev/rtc' to have a 1024 Hz timer. This is not a fatal error, but for better emulation accuracy either use a 2.6 host Linux kernel or type 'echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq' as root. unhandled vm exit: 0x3f60101 rax 00000000000000b5 rbx 00000000000000b5 rcx 0000000000000000 rdx 000000008053f118 rsi 0000000080551920 rdi 0000000000000000 rsp 00000000804d7000 rbp 000000008053f0a0 r8 0000000000000000 r9 0000000000000000 r10 0000000000000000 r11 0000000000000000 r12 0000000000000000 r13 0000000000000000 r14 0000000000000000 r15 0000000000000000 rip 000000008053f620 rflags 00000002 cs 0008 (00000000/ffffffff p 1 dpl 0 db 1 s 1 type b l 0 g 0 avl 0) ds 0023 (00000000/ffffffff p 1 dpl 3 db 1 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 1 avl 0) es 0023 (00000000/ffffffff p 1 dpl 3 db 1 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 1 avl 0) ss 0010 (00000000/ffffffff p 1 dpl 0 db 1 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 1 avl 0) fs 0030 (ffdff000/00001fff p 1 dpl 0 db 1 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 1 avl 0) gs 0000 (00000000/0000ffff p 1 dpl 0 db 0 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 0 avl 0) tr 0028 (80042000/000020ab p 1 dpl 0 db 0 s 0 type 9 l 0 g 0 avl 0) ldt 0000 (00000000/0000ffff p 0 dpl 0 db 0 s 0 type 0 l 0 g 0 avl 0) gdt 8003f000/3ff idt 8003f400/7ff cr0 8001003d cr2 0 cr3 a4a000 cr4 20 cr8 0 efer 0 Aborted --------------------------------------------------------------- I've reinstalled this three times, and it happens every time.
