>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: This started to happen with some beta 2 builds, I tried to look into the issue but never was able to identify the problem. The 0.8.2 fix doesn't work, 0.8.2 works only for earlier builds, not builds after 5472. If I'm correct quemu implementa ACPI 1.0, while vista requires ACPI 2, and it seems that MS started to enforce the requirement only after at least build 5472 up to the current RC1. If somebody can help with this I'd really be greatfull.... and if I can help I'm very glad to do so, but I'm not a real ACPI guru...
