Hi all,
After an upgrade to qemu-kvm-0.12.5 and vanilla Linux 2.6.35, I now can not boot my XP guest. It hangs at the splash screen. I can get to the kvm console via <ctrl><alt>2, but it still won't get past the black screen at boot.
Once I downgraded back to Linux 2.6.33.3 it booted and worked fine again.
Here is the commands I run to launch the guest:
export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=alsa
qemu-system-x86_64 \
-m 1024 \
-soundhw es1370 \
-localtime \
-name 'Windows XP Pro Host' \
-usb -usbdevice tablet \
-hda /projects/stu/kvm-drives/winxpp.img \
-net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:31:04 \
-net tap,ifname=tap3,script=/etc/kvm/kvm-ifup-br0 -daemonizePlease let me know if you need any additional information.
Thanks In Advance,
Stuart Sheldon
