[kvm-devel] KVM and Vista question

2008-01-10 Thread Anup Gangwar
Hello All, I was trying to get Vista 64-bit to boot off QEMU and was pointed to this list from the QEMU developers list. From the guest compatibility page I could gather that KVM with Intel host is able to boot a Vista 64-bit guest, however the stand-alone version of QEMU does not (yet) support
