You can also use ctrl-c in the window that started kvm, if you have it. I've seen this too; I believe the issue is that windows isn't using a shutdown method supported by kvm. My research seems to indicate that it's because windows doesn't think it's running on an ACPI capable computer. This is usually due to having installed windows with ACPI disabled (which was necessary for a while to work around an installer bug). You can try to enable ACPI by following this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810903 but reports are that it doesn't work, and that a re-install is necessary on an ACPI enabled kvm. I'll try my win2k install when I get a chance, to see if I can fix it here. Okay, for my win2k install, it was sufficient to open control center, open Power settings, and on APM, click the Advanced Power Management. That made shutdown actually power off the VM. I can't maintain kvm anymore. The old kvm ebuilds have been dropped from the tree quite sometime ago. If anyone can duplicate this issue on the latest qemu-kvm ebuilds, please open a new bug. |
