https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53641 Summary: nVMX: Windows as L2 guest doesn't work Product: Virtualization Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: kvm AssignedTo: virtualization_kvm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: nyh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Regression: No While Linux works fine as nested guests (L2), Windows of various versions do not - which is of course a serious downside of KVM's nested VMX. I verified this myself - seeing Windows 2000 hang on boot. It was also reported by others and is not specific to Windows 2000, e.g. the following reports by Gianluca Cecchi: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/virt/2011-June/002702.html http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/virt/2011-November/002959.html http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.kvm.devel/82131 At some point during our research prototype, Windows L2 guests *did* work (including Windows 2000), so it's probably not a big problem, but rather some sneaky bug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- 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
