Has anyone been successful installing Windows 7 on a Fedora 12 KVM ?
Did you have any difficulties or sticking points ?

If you ever need sound you can access your VM using rdesktop (must
be enabled in windows first).
I access my Win7 64-bit with:
padsp rdesktop -u mk -f -k da mk-win7-64 -x l -r sound:local -r
'comport:COM1=/dev/ttyS0' -T mk-win7-64
I need to give access to the com port, else the sound doesn't work:

I have Windows 7 running as a VM under VMware on F12. I did a from
scratch install of Win7 Ultimate and had no problems. The Win 7 network
is bridged to my wireless network and everything works just fine. The
only issues I have encountered are related to performance. When I run
my Win7 VM on my F12 box it tends to hog memory causing things to run
slower than if I wasn't running my Win7 VM. I have 2Gb of memory on my
system and I have 1Gb of RAM allocated to my Win7 VM. Things would
probably run better with more memory.
Running VMware Workstation 7.1 (Yes - that's correct! It was just
released) on F13B (with current patches). My system is a Lenovo T400
with 4GB RAM.
Installed flawlessly and runs Windows 7 (with 2 vCPUs and 2GB RAM
allocated) with no issues at all - including very smooth sound. Now, if
they would fix USB support so that it actually worked with most new
devices we would be golden!
On vBox, you will need to install a driver (I forget which one) in
addition to the vBox extensions to get sound. It's in the vBox user
guide though.
I doubt you'll get smooth sound from KVM yet, if you get sound at all.
Cheers,
Chris

I don't use sound as the VM is only used to test windoze only apps.
However, I just took a look and the win7 VM doesn't see any sound cards. So no, I
haven't gotten audio to work.

Did you get any audio from Windows 7. I have not yet reloaded my Windows
7 (64-bit) under Virtualbox, but previously I was not able to get any
sound from Windows 7 under KVM or Virtualbox where the sound from
Windows XP worked fine. Probably need a driver.
I don't use sound as the VM is only used to test windoze only apps.
However, I just took a look and the win7 VM doesn't see any sound cards. So no, I
haven't gotten audio to work.

Did you get any audio from Windows 7. I have not yet reloaded my Windows
7 (64-bit) under Virtualbox, but previously I was not able to get any
sound from Windows 7 under KVM or Virtualbox where the sound from
Windows XP worked fine. Probably need a driver.
I have not got a Virtual Guest installed yet I'm having problems of
getting my bridge network to give me a Network for Fedora 12.

Upgraded a winXP VM to win7 without a hitch. I upgraded to 64 bit win7 on a 64 bit host

I haven't tried an install from scratch, and probably won't.

Upgraded a winXP VM to win7 without a hitch. I upgraded to 64 bit win7 on a 64 bit host
(Fedora 12).
I haven't tried an install from scratch, and probably won't.
