[kvm-devel] KVM and Vista question

[Anup G. <anu...@gm...>]

Hello All,

I was trying to get Vista 64-bit to boot off QEMU and was pointed to this
list from the QEMU developers list. From the guest compatibility page I
could gather that KVM with Intel host is able to boot a Vista 64-bit guest,
however the stand-alone version of QEMU does not (yet) support booting
Vista. Could someone please provide more insight as to how this is achieved.
My understanding is that there are problems in:

1. ACPI code in QEMU BIOS
2. Deficiencies in device model

I believe that these issues are addressed in the QEMU  tree being maintained
with KVM. Is there anything additional which KVM does to get Vista to work?

Thanks for the help.

Regards,

Anup
