[Spice-devel] Possible problems with usbredir in w7 guest on F16 host?

[Gianluca Cecchi]

Starting with 25th of January some problems starting my w7 guest
Initially I thought something related with kernel update, but using
the previous one didn't help..

The boot stops at win logo screen.
This morning 4 attempts and then after disabling usbredir:

$ diff w7.xml w7.xml.save

>     <qemu:arg value='usb-redir,chardev=usbredirchardev3,id=usbredirdev3,bus=ehci.0,debug=3'/>
>   </qemu:commandline>

it starts without problems (not tested very much so I'm not sure this
is the solution.. will see next days)
