[Qemu-devel] Vista STOP A5

[Andrew Barr]

I am trying to install Windows Vista RC1 in QEMU (CVS snapshot from
23/08/06) on a Linux host and I am getting the STOP error A5. Someone
reported this to the list several months ago and apparently it is ACPI
related, and someone suggested an upgrade to QEMU 0.8.2. Well, this
problem is still occurring for me on a post-0.8.2 CVS snapshot. Command
line:

qemu -hda vista.hda -cdrom
vista_5600.16384.060829-2230_x86fre_client-LR1CFRE_EN_DVD.iso -boot d -m
512 -localtime -usb -usbdevice tablet

That's with both a QCOW and QCOW2 format disk image.
