I tried to do another win2k3 install, this time via libvirt xml file. I used a minimal config. The install was immediately running very slow, possibly due to using a qcow disk file and/or not having used any virtio config. It ran so slow though with the disk io wait, that it brought the load average way up on the server node, and it caused ALL of my other linux virt instances to get CPU Stuck msgs, forcing me to reload the entire virtualization node. Bad. With all these issues, im going to have to go with windows virtualization does not work on ubuntu lucid. It used to work on ubuntu hardy.
