Very unlikely - using a block device directly is usually both the fastest and most reliable way to run a guest OS. You are using -vga vmware - in my experience, Qemu's VMWare VGA emulation isn't very reliable with Windows guests (redraw problems). -vga std and the AnaPa VESA driver (for Windows 2000, which doesn't have native VESA driver) work the fastest (-vga cirrus also works, but it's slightly slower for some reason). How does the VM freeze - is there a BSOD? What's qemu-kvm's CPU usage when the VM freezes? -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< http://eternallybored.org/ > Murphy was an optimist... -- O'Toole's Commentary on Murphy's Laws -- 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
