[Bug 105195] Re: kvm can not run Windows XP

[Gavin Hamill]

+1  - the options I needed are "-cpu coreduo,-nx" rather than 'nx' as
mentioned by Johannes

I have an older Core Duo (Thinkpad X60s) which does support the nx flag,
but I must forcibly disable it if I want XP to run ... same store -
stage one ('DOS-style' install works, but the first reboot to complete
the installation just hangs at 50%CPU usage on a black screen..)

gdh at gdh-x60s:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo  | grep nx
flags		: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx constant_tsc arch_perfmon bts pni monitor vmx est tm2 xtpr pdcm

Linux 2.6.28-15-generic on jaunty

gdh
