Bug: automatic reboot winxp hanging on vnc...
Hi all,
Once again, I posted this already in march with not uptodate kvm version. Now we have kvm-69 and the same behavior on debian etch host (self backported from sid).
We are running an winxp client as kvm guest (with vnc option) all day long (license management software). So automatic windows updates are activated.
Guest ist started like:
kvm -vnc :0 -usbdevice tablet -usbdevice host:064f:0bd7 -usbdevice host:0529:0001 -k de -net nic,vlan=0,macaddr=00:50:56:00:08:15 -net tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap21,script=no -m
256 -localtime -daemonize ./lizenzknecht.raw
On MS patch days steadily the guest hangs on automatic reboot, until one connect with vnc to it. Instantly and without any user action the reboot takes place after that.
Any hints to solve this problem?
Thanx in advance
Thomas

This ought to be fixed in kvm-70 (long overdue, but out soon).

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this signature is too narrow to contain.

Ok, I will stay tuned and wait for the new release.
