Hello. I'm rehashing older bugreports now, and this one is from 2012. Do you still have problems described in there? I still don't have any AMD system around, but reportedly qemu/kvm works on these just fine nowadays (and worked before bulldozer too). Thanks, /mjt

After further experimenting, I note that kvm run from the command line allows for -cpu phenom, while virt-manager doesn't. Nonetheless, I'm getting the Windows XP install hanging very early in the process, just after copying the files and rebooting into a graphical environment. It does this mo

I just tried repairing the install, which didn't work. Neither did overwriting the install with a fresh one. Is there something in the img file that remembers what it was created on? Otherwise I'm at a loss to explain why I can't get Windows XP to run. BTW: I also tried to create a fresh virtu

OK, the img that worked on my Phenom II system using qemu64 as the CPU doesn't work on my Bulldozer system using the same CPU setting. That would suggest that qemu64 doesn't do a complete emulation. I'm getting something carried over from the host CPU. - I've tried running it

I've tried running it with various cpu models. Using virt-manager, I get the option to "Copy host CPU configuration", which worked about as well as kvm64, Opteron_G4 and qemu64 (i.e. didn't work - still hangs or blue screens). Choosing Phenom gives me a start-up message that guest CPU is not co
