Eagerly waiting for your suggestions. My main intention is WinXP guest should 
not hang on "Its now safe to turn off your computer" while doing shutdown. 
Can you please respond on this?


Thanks\Naga.

Subject: [Spice-devel] WinXP with Standard PC CPU model continuously restarts..
 

Hi,

WinXP having Standard PC CPU model continuously restarts while booting and have 
seen BSOD. Please refer attached screenshots.

Initially, WnXP guest has MPS Uniprocessor PC and I'm having problem while 
doing shutdown. It hangs displaying "Its now safe to turn your computer"
I have read below article that If we change CPU model to Standard PC and 
install NT APM legacy driver, guest will be shutdown automatically.

By doing this it worked fine with different WinXP guest earlier. If i do the 
same to my WinXP guest I'm seeing above specified issue.
Instead of changing to Standard PC, I thought of changing to ACPI complaint. 
But after reading below article, I understood we can't change CPU models(MPS 
Uniprocessor PC/ MPS Multiprocessor PC / Standard PC) to ACPI simply by Update 
Driver.

I have noticed this behaviour even with WinXP guest launched from Virt-manager 
on Centos 6.2.

I can't reinstall WinXP guest OS to specify ACPI. 
Is there anyway to change CPU model as ACPI complaint from MPS uniprocessor PC?


Thank you for your help.


Regards,
Naga.
