Re: [libvirt-users] Windows guest eats as many CPU as available

2011-01-11 Thread jeremy avnet
IIRC, this was a problem with older versions of QEmu that was fixed later. Are you on a recent version? You should be able to run a single VCPU, Windows XP instance *without* ACPI and have low CPU usage. I've done it. Note, this problem still exists for multi-VCPU XP instances. .:. jeremy On Mon,

I'm seeing this problem with both the virtio and e1000 driver with both linux and windows guests. About 5 - 10% of the VMs I launch have network problems. They seem to always get an IP from the DHCP server (dnsmasq), but afterwards either they can not make an outside network connection or they lose

You should try connecting to the VM via VNC and see what's happening on that side. The XML you pasted was for a VM not running, when it's running, you'll see a port defined in . Did you enter those MAC addresses or did you let libvirt generate them for you? .:. jeremy
