ArcaOS started at version 5.0 to pay homage to the fact that it's effectively OS/2 Warp 5. > I assume that since you're running ArcaOS, that you have support from > Arca Noae.

Yes, but the Google hits I got were for people trying to run various versions of Windows and linux as a QEMU guest on a Lenovo laptop. This indicates a more general Lenovo-QEMU conflict, going beyond ArcaOS. If my system stays stable for a week or so, I'll consider submitting a FAQ entry to QEMU.org for Lenovo laptops. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
