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
