I am using Feisty 7.04 with kernel 2.6.20-12-generic I upgraded to kvm-18 and still did not get w2k running. There was a thread on this topic under http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.kvm.devel/1860 and the patch posted there is included in kvm-18, but the installer still stops when it comes to the first reboot
