It looks s9x use the mode in boot loader. It's pitty that s9 can not be hosted by kvm for this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Avi Kivity (avik) Date: 2007-08-06 11:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=539971 Originator: NO Looks like the installer is using "Big Real Mode" (http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/Intel_Real_Mode_Emulation_Problems). At present this is not supported well on Intel hardware. As a workaround, you might try installing with -no-kvm and then booting using kvm. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jan Lana (jenda) Date: 2007-08-06 11:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=530251 Originator: YES I forgot: QEMU (or -no-kvm) works fine, I was able to install s9 without problem ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=893831&aid=1768212&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
