It's much better. What does the guest do?

(the later in more accurate) Seems like qemu doesn't get enough signals to inject timer irq to the guest. Luca claims the HPET intefer the RTC. Can it be disabled? ( I know some new chipsets implement rtc using HPET). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
