G'day all,
I have a disk image here of Win2k-SP4 with AutoCAD installed.
It's a 4G QCOW filesystem. I have burned it on a DVD with QEMU and a few other bits and I carry it
around with me alongside a Knoppix disk so I always have my CAD system with me wherever I go.
Now this has worked great for a while, until today where I tried to run it on a
P-IIIM Laptop.
The system was installed on an AMD Sempron with kqemu, and it *refuses* to boot past the Win2k
splash screen on the laptop.
It occurs to me that every system I have run it on to date has been an AMD, and I'm wondering as it
was installed with kqemu, if win2k might use/detect some instruction present on the Althon and then
depend on it. I can see no other reason for the image refusing to run on a P-III.
I'm in the process of installing another image completely with -no-kqemu to test my theory (but that
is about 5 hours work), and I thought I'd ask here in addition just in case I'm doing something silly.
I have tried the image with and without kqemu on all machines, and it runs great on any Athlon, but
refuses to boot on my only Intel box (P-III Laptop).
Regards,
Brad
