Hi. I'm seeing two issues with Windows7 running as a guest, maybe you can point me to the right direction :) 1) Shutdown (selected from Windows itself) doesn't work, the system reboots afterwards. 2) USB passthrough dosesn't work; I connect a camera to it (in order to upgrade it's AGPS data with some Windows-only program) which is a mass storage device. The device shows up in Windows (device manager) and even with the model name in some "connected devices list" but next to the device in the device manager is a yellow triangle and it says "the device failed to start (code 10)". Reinstalling the driver, as windows suggests, doesn't help. I'm using Debian sid, with kernel 3.7.3 and virt-manager/libvirt. The VM was created with "Virt Type = kvm" and "Architecture = i686"... at least that was selected in virt-manager. The windows7 is a 32bit version. Windows itself claimed to have some QEMU named CPU. I found then out that when I later switched the processor model (in virt-manager) to "kvm64" ... and force-shutdown/start (reboot alone didn't help) both problems (1 and 2) were gone. Windows itself claimed to have some KVM named CPU. No idea though whether this is an issue in kvm, qemu-kvm, qemu or maybe even just virt-manager/libvirt. Anyway,.. it seems others on the web have had similar issues, too. Cheers, Chris. (Please keep me CC'ed... I'm off list)
