I have stumbled on a possible QEMU issue Trying to install Visual Studio 2005 (std edition) in a Windows 2003 server (std edition) inside QEMU (version 0.7.2. with KQEMU running in Gentoo (gcc 3.4.4, kernel 2.6.14)) results in a locked guest OS that fails with videoprt.sys errors (screen dump http://randompage.org/qemu-error.png - not much to go at but this is all Windows gives me before shutting down).
Changing the resolution/color depth have no influence on the problem the only way to complete the installation is to boot qemu with the -std-vga option. I have also noticed the same types of hard lockups while running Windows Update from within Internet Explore in Windows 2003 Server. All these problems are specific to 2003, both XP and 2000 (workstation and server) runs these operations perfectly. I have neither of the above problems in Windows 2003 servers running nativ or inside VMWare (GSX server). Dows anyone else have these problems ? -- Lars Roland _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
