If this problem reappears, please open a new bug in launchpad Closing Thanks, Jes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Marcelo Tosatti (mtosatti) Date: 2008-04-05 23:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=2022487 Originator: NO It seems that Windows is trying to execute the GETSEC instruction without checking if its available in CPUID first. Can you try this patch please? http://people.redhat.com/~mtosatti/handle-getsec.patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=893831&aid=1935336&group_id=180599 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
