Re: [Qemu-devel] Re: Windows Vista 64 bit on QEMU

["Anup Gangwar"]

In one of the posts for Vista on QEMU someone had mentioned that ACPI is to be blamed. In one of the subsequent posts it was pointed that ACPI is supported quite well in EFI BIOS. This is the reason I had mentioned that it no longer works with QEMU.

The goal still remains to get Vista 64-bit working on QEMU and if EFI BIOS will not help then I will not pursue it any further.

Any further pointers to get Vista running on QEMU will be appreciated.

Regards,

Anup

Generally speaking they don't.  Apple Intel Macs are the only ones I
know that use efi, apart from some extreme nitch gear that does...
