Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: yunfeng (yunfeng) Assigned to: Avi Kivity (avik) Summary: Cannot boot windows 2000 guest Initial Comment: The speed of booting windows guest is very slow. On a harwich/paxiville with 16Lps, from starting boot to network started the time-comsuming is more than 4 minutes. And "top" on host shows the cpu usage of qemu is always >100% while booting windows guest. Date of start boot Mon Aug 6 15:24:00 CST 2007 Date of network started.
