My upgrade went and overwrote the downgrade so I am back to the latest release. HOWEVER, I found a work around thanks to some googling and seeing the bug in ubuntu The KVM needs the -nx flag to allow it to work. You can achieve this with the following steps create the file /etc/libvirt/qemu/kvm-32 with the following contents #!/bin/bash exec kvm -cpu qemu32,-nx `echo $*` and make it executable. In the same directory you should find the xml file for your virtual machine. In my case it was called windows.xml Inside that file there is a line <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator> change it to <emulator>/etc/libvirt/qemu/kvm-32</emulator> You will need to restart libvirt-bin /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin restart and then the virtual machine can be started and windows runs fine. -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
