qemu says my cpu is too old

Too bad it did not work...

As I said, I do not have a Windows 7 disk to test this (and it seems to work with all other OSs) but if I can get someone to let me use it for a few days, I might look into this.
I actually use my own - hacked - version of Qemu, so I'll have to compile it anyway.

But I hope someone can solve this before I get to it...

Microsoft offers a 90 days trial version of Windows 7 Enterprise here.

Well, not sure if I missed something, but I just tried Windows 7 (Professional 32 bits) and it works just fine.

My setup
- Host=Slackware64-current
- Qemu 0.14.0 (with some patches, but nothing related to this problem)
- Guest=Windows 7 Professional 32-bits

Please give some details on your setup...

Just another update...

Also tried it with Windows 7 Professional 64-bits - again without any problems on Qemu 0.14.0...

Did you use Qemu built with the script from SlackBuilds.org ?

well there you go... i re-downloaded the trial windows 7 iso and it is all good now. my old trial iso or the qcow disk must have been corrupt.

thank you all very much for your help (especially niels.horn for spending your time to help me).

Problem solved, mystery remains

But good to know it's working now for you as well!
