Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Technologov (technologov) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: KVM crash with Windows XP guest because of ACPI Initial Comment: Host: Fedora7, 64-bit, Intel CPU, KVM-48. When I start Windows XP guest, that was installed with ACPI enabled, without ACPI in KVM, KVM crashes. The command is: [alexeye@pink-intel ~]$ ./qemu-kvm -hda /isos/disks-vm/alexeye/WindowsXP-Pro.vmdk -m 512 -no-acpi With -no-kvm it stucks, but not crashes. The same crash happens with "-no-acpi -no-kvm-irqchip" parameters. -Technologov ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Jes Sorensen (jessorensen) Date: 2010-06-25 15:55 Message: With recent KVM kernel 2.6.32 and qemu-kvm 0.12.1, an XP guest installed with ACPI no longer takes down qemu-kvm when booted with the -no-acpi flag. As expected Windows refuses to boot and offers safe mode and then bails, since too many system parameters is changed, but qemu-kvm survives it fine.

If not, lets close this bug.
