      Does anybody running KVM have issues with Windows XP guests?

      Just upgraded XCP-ng from 7.6 to 8.0 and now our stupid ass ancient punch clock app running on XP won't boot :angry_face:

      With KVM, when installing unsupported OS like Windows XP through Virtual Machine Manager, you end up using the generic default template.

      Chipset will be i440fx.
      Storage will be IDE bus type.
      Nic will be e1000(Intel).

      This is what somebody recommended for XCP-ng, too. Create a new VM with the "Other install media" template and attach the disk to it.

        I think the issue lies in the fact that your business is still relying on Windows XP for any service.

        Talk with the punch clock vendor and get a new one, don't blame the hypervisor. 😉

        100% not blaming the hypervisor lol I can't tell you how many times I've told management that the thing is on it's last leg and no longer supported. The software hasn't been updated since 2001... Silly me keeps fixing it though. I think it might finally be time to upgrade.

        I spend at least an hour a week updating the thing manually, I've added up my costs and shown them how much money the stupid ass thing costs the company and they don't care.

        I do need to spin it up on something and retrieve the data though. That's why I was asking about KVM. I guess I could just do it on my computer with Hyper-V

        Or use any live-boot linux distro.

                Good day, but feeling ridiculously tired. Working on a Windows Server 2019 remote install on a KVM host.

                              HAHA! I saw Ark before I'd even finished the word... word associations being what they are and all, ended up on the same page 🙂

                                  It's super common. Hard mulled cider is phenomenal.

                                    I can drink coffee and whiskey/whisky at the same time but not mixed. Its such a weird combo. I'd literally rather double-fist the two than to have a mixed beverage like that lol.

                                      There isn't enough coffee today, I feel like I didn't sleep at all.

                                        I cannot imagine the misery I'd be in if I were addicted to coffee.

                                          I couldn't either. I felt like I was awake all night but I probably was falling asleep and waking back up a lot
