[kvm-devel] Vista 32 Premium 32 bit gets blue screen on boot

[Haydn S. <hay...@gm...>]

I've installed vista premium home 32 bit  on previous versions of kvm,
namely 24-1 which is packaged with fedora 7. Since then I've removed these
packages and building kvm from releases from sourceforge provided qumranet
website. When I try to install vista premium home 32 bit using kvm release
36 I'm getting blue screen.  I'm running on a dell 1720 core 2 duo, 2 GB
ram. I'm running fedora 7 64-bit. The previously installed windows xp (
installed using kvm release 35 ) is running fine under release 36. I'm
starting kvm with the following:

/usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 \
-hda vistahome.img \
-m 400 \
-no-rtc \
-localtime \
-boot d \
-cdrom /home/hsolomon/isos/VISTA_32_PREMIUM.iso &

The message from the blue screen is:

***STOP: 0X000000A5 ( 0X0001000B, 0X50434146, 0XFFD0502C, 0X00000000 )

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks and great piece of work here guys.
