Hi guys,
I've recently gotten KVM to work on my Slamd64 12.1 machine running
kernel 2.6.26. Once I got everything up and running I tried installing
Windows Server 2008. The installation went fine and I can get
everything up and running and it seems to be working fine. Only
problem is that I cannot activate it. This problem seems to be caused
by the Software Licensing service that crashes on startup. Apparently
this service is needed for activation to work.
I'm not sure if this is actually a KVM problem, but I can't believe
that Microsoft would ship this if it's not working right, because
without activation the system is pretty much useless. Also, the crash
occurs in ntdll.dll, which as far as I know is the kernel, so it does
seem to be some weird problem with the virtualization. So, I'm
wondering if anyone has actually tried activating Windows Server 2008.
The Wiki reports that Windows Server 2008 is supposed to work and
well, it does, but if I can't activate it, it's useless.
Of course,
I'm using a legit version of Server 2008.
I've just fixed a subtle-but-horrible bug affecting Windows Server
2008. In my tests, Windows would install, boot, and activate fine, but
every once in a while would crash in the kernel during boot. Hopefully
the same bug caused the problem you're seeing as well.
I'll release kvm-72 soon, please try it out.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
