Greetings, libvirt-users ...
I ask for help with virtualizing an ancient machine with a linux kernel 2.2.
forgot to mention: using qemu-kvm-1.1.1 on a 64bit gentoo host. libvirt-0.9.13 now, downgraded from 0.10.2 today due to searching for a solution (0.9 is stable in gentoo-terms, 0.10.x not yet) The disks are stored as raw ... in LVM-volumes. The symptoms: sometimes the performance ist great, then lousy. One window in the guest works fine, while another is completely unresponsive. I had it working well once .. then ruined it by wanting to optimize it. Something around choosing the CPU for the virtual machine. I assume I should use kvm32? The machine to be virtualized originated on a pentium1 ... and runs fine on a VMware-server-2.x ... but the vmware-server is old now as well ... thanks in advance, Stefan
