Re: [CentOS-virt] 4 CPU with WinXP on Centos 5.5 KVM?

Has anyone had any success getting WinXP 32bit to use 4 CPU's under Centos 5.5 KVM?

I have tried everything and the best I can get is 2 CPU's. I tried everything listed here http://www.linux-kvm.com/content/running-windows-smp-guests I am using the VIRTIO drivers.

Is this known limitation of KVM-83-164 (Centos5 release) with WinXP 32bit? I think there are reports of it working with 32bit Windows 2003 (or was it Windows 2008?).

I know KVM is granting the 4 CPU's since Linux VM can use 4 CPU's on the same computer.

Thanks,

Marcelino

Marcelino,

TTBOMK winxp is only going to support 2 physical cpus unless you have a special winxp license that we have not experienced

we have never seen more than a 1 or 2 physical cpu version of winxp

eh ?
