Hi, I want to migrate from vmware to KVM. Therefore I have installed debian stable (lenny) and create two virtual machines (KVM). Both (XP as well as Vista) running fine. After upgrading to debian testing (sqeeze) both XP-guest as well as Vista-guest didn't start anymore. Both are failing during preparation, probably because of a

I will give XP as an example: cat /var/log/libvirt/qemu/devel-xp.log.2 /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc -m 256 -smp 1 -name devel-xp -monitor pty -localtime -no-acpi -boot c -drive file=/KVM-Images/devel-xp.qcow2,if=ide,index=0,boot=on -drive
