I've had a bit more of a look... I have been experimenting w/ Windows 2008 64-bit original release installing the Enterprise edition.
Lucid ships with seabios 0.5.1-0ubuntu2 which experiences the issue. Maverick ships with seabios 0.6.0-0ubuntu1 which from my testing doesn't. I did a quick rebuild of 0.6.0-0ubuntu1 for Lucid, and I can boot a 5 vCPU Enterprise VM okay, which I couldn't before. So it looks like the issue is somewhere upstream between Jan 2010 and early July 2010... ** Also affects: seabios (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Windows Server 2008 won't boot with more than 4 vCPUs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589063 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
