Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Alex Moore (lightspd10) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: 64bit windows guest works on intel but not amd Initial Comment: I noticed that the release notes for kvm-36 mentioned the addition of support for 64-bit windows guests, which is the feature I have been waiting for. It does indeed work nicely on my Intel desktop machine (a Core 2 Extreme QX6700). But not on my AMD based server (an Opteron 2210). When attempting to boot the 64-bit Windows guest on the Opteron, the guest bluescreens immediately. This occurs both when trying to boot the Windows installation CD and also when trying to boot the already-installed OS, having copied the disk image over from the Intel host. The Windows OS I'm using is Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition. I then upgraded to the latest kvm release (kvm-39), but the problem remains. Note that both the Intel and AMD host machines are using kernel 2.6.22 (64-bit), and in both cases I am using the kernel modules provided by the kvm package, not the ones available in the kernel itself. This problem does NOT occur if I add the -no-kvm option to the command line on the AMD64 host (ie the guest then boots successfully). P.S. I didn't see any info on "-no-kvm" in the man page... what am I missing out on if I run it with that switch?
