qemu-doc: remove target OS documentation
This section covers OSes up to Windows 2000, and as such it is mostly obsolete. Zap it.

@section Target OS specific information
|
||||
|
||||
@subsection Linux
|
||||
|
||||
To have access to SVGA graphic modes under X11, use the @code{vesa} or
|
||||
the @code{cirrus} X11 driver. For optimal performances, use 16 bit
|
||||
color depth in the guest and the host OS.
|
||||
|
||||
When using a 2.6 guest Linux kernel, you should add the option
|
||||
@code{clock=pit} on the kernel command line because the 2.6 Linux
|
||||
kernels make very strict real time clock checks by default that QEMU
|
||||
cannot simulate exactly.
|
||||
|
||||
When using a 2.6 guest Linux kernel, verify that the 4G/4G patch is
|
||||
not activated because QEMU is slower with this patch. The QEMU
|
||||
Accelerator Module is also much slower in this case. Earlier Fedora
|
||||
Core 3 Linux kernel (< 2.6.9-1.724_FC3) were known to incorporate this
|
||||
patch by default. Newer kernels don't have it.
|
||||
|
||||
@subsection Windows
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a slow host, using Windows 95 is better as it gives the
|
||||
best speed. Windows 2000 is also a good choice.
|
||||
|
||||
@subsubsection SVGA graphic modes support
|
||||
|
||||
QEMU emulates a Cirrus Logic GD5446 Video
|
||||
card. All Windows versions starting from Windows 95 should recognize
|
||||
and use this graphic card. For optimal performances, use 16 bit color
|
||||
depth in the guest and the host OS.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using Windows XP as guest OS and if you want to use high
|
||||
resolution modes which the Cirrus Logic BIOS does not support (i.e. >=
|
||||
1280x1024x16), then you should use the VESA VBE virtual graphic card
|
||||
(option @option{-std-vga}).
|
||||
|
||||
@subsubsection CPU usage reduction
|
||||
|
||||
Windows 9x does not correctly use the CPU HLT
|
||||
instruction. The result is that it takes host CPU cycles even when
|
||||
idle. You can install the utility from
|
||||
@url{https://web.archive.org/web/20060212132151/http://www.user.cityline.ru/~maxamn/amnhltm.zip}
|
||||
to solve this problem. Note that no such tool is needed for NT, 2000 or XP.
|
||||
|
||||
@subsubsection Windows 2000 disk full problem
|
||||
|
||||
Windows 2000 has a bug which gives a disk full problem during its
|
||||
installation. When installing it, use the @option{-win2k-hack} QEMU
|
||||
option to enable a specific workaround. After Windows 2000 is
|
||||
installed, you no longer need this option (this option slows down the
|
||||
IDE transfers).
|
||||
|
||||
@subsubsection Windows 2000 shutdown
|
||||
|
||||
Windows 2000 cannot automatically shutdown in QEMU although Windows 98
|
||||
can. It comes from the fact that Windows 2000 does not automatically
|
||||
use the APM driver provided by the BIOS.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to correct that, do the following (thanks to Struan
|
||||
Bartlett): go to the Control Panel => Add/Remove Hardware & Next =>
|
||||
Add/Troubleshoot a device => Add a new device & Next => No, select the
|
||||
hardware from a list & Next => NT Apm/Legacy Support & Next => Next
|
||||
(again) a few times. Now the driver is installed and Windows 2000 now
|
||||
correctly instructs QEMU to shutdown at the appropriate moment.
|
||||
|
||||
@subsubsection Share a directory between Unix and Windows
|
||||
|
||||
See @ref{sec_invocation} about the help of the option
|
||||
@option{'-netdev user,smb=...'}.
|
||||
|
||||
@subsubsection Windows XP security problem
|
||||
|
||||
Some releases of Windows XP install correctly but give a security
|
||||
error when booting:
|
||||
@example
|
||||
A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the
|
||||
license for this computer. Error code: 0x800703e6.
|
||||
@end example
|
||||
|
||||
The workaround is to install a service pack for XP after a boot in safe
|
||||
mode. Then reboot, and the problem should go away. Since there is no
|
||||
network while in safe mode, its recommended to download the full
|
||||
installation of SP1 or SP2 and transfer that via an ISO or using the
|
||||
vvfat block device ("-hdb fat:directory_which_holds_the_SP").
|
||||
|
||||
@subsection MS-DOS and FreeDOS
|
||||
|
||||
@subsubsection CPU usage reduction
|
||||
|
||||
DOS does not correctly use the CPU HLT instruction. The result is that
|
||||
it takes host CPU cycles even when idle. You can install the utility from
|
||||
@url{https://web.archive.org/web/20051222085335/http://www.vmware.com/software/dosidle210.zip}
|
||||
to solve this problem.
