[Qemu-devel] Some trials about W2K

[Gilles SIMON]

Hello,

I installed W2K AS with qemu 0.5.5 (precisely CVS 1 day before 0.5.5).

With W2K SP2, couldn't install because disk full.
With W2K (not sp), OK, an disk is full after install.

In fact, during install, W2k logs a very lot of information (for me, 3.6 G !). 
All this stuff is under C:\WINNT\Security, with a lot of 1Mb files.
So, disk is really full, it is not a bug regarding disk emulation. I suspect 
this is the same for SP2, but more logs are added. In fact, I can install 
only i there is enough space for all this garbage (for me, 4Gb). Perhaps SP2 
can install with lot of space...

After installing, I downloaded BXVGA driver, and it works (only in 1024x768).
The driver by Filip Navara just take me BSOD at boot time :(

I use user mode networking (not tun), and it's great ! Nothing to do, it 
works...
However, sometimes, W2k (as W98SE) don't get an address, and I have to reload 
the virtual machine to have one.

When it runs, I get files from host by ftp at 2800Kbytes/s, but the put is at 
40Kb/s only...

Last, Service pack 4 don't install. It starts, then say 'there is an error' 
and stop.

I have one question : with user mode network, guest can contact host.
Is it possible for guest to contact another computer ?
Is it posible for host or other computer to contact guest (ie, can guest be a 
server, can I telnet it for example ?)

Many thanks for this wonderful work.
