Yes, I work with SL6 alpha 4 > And you're saying that Windows 7 is much faster on SL6 than on Fedora 14? Installation itself . Packages deployment phase is much faster on SL 6 ( alpha 4), even if I don't pre-load viostor.sys ( option working only on SL 6 ) > Are virtio-blk and virtio-net drivers installed in the Windows guest? Yes. Please, view for details :- http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/2011/01/08/set-up-rh-virtio-scsi-driver-on-windows-xp-kvm-at-kvm-qemu-instance-on-f14/ XML profiles for F14 and SL6 will be sent to you a bit latter.

SL6 = Scientific Linux 6? And you're saying that Windows 7 is much faster on SL6 than on Fedora 14? > P.S.

Are virtio-blk and virtio-net drivers installed in the Windows guest? What does the libvirt XML for this guest look like (from both SL6 and Fedora 14)?
