I experienced this problem with kvm 83 and the same patch using a Windows XP guest. There, it shows up as random application crashes and failure to boot after using the system for some time. So it seems that the qcow2 disk image is being corrupted. After removing the patch and restoring the qcow image from backup it works fine. -- Jan Lübbe <jlue...@lasnet.de> http://sicherheitsschwankung.de gpg-key 1024D/D8480F2E 2002-03-20 fingerprint 1B25 F91F 9E7B 5D4F 1282 02D6 8A83 8BE4 D848 0F2E -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
