windows 8.1 ?

I just installed win81 32 bit with success, using these settings:

Code:
args: -cpu kvm64,+sep
bootdisk: virtio0
cores: 1
ide0: iso-template:iso/virtio-win-0.1-59.iso,media=cdrom,size=60572K
ide2: iso-template:iso/WindowsBlue-ClientwithApps-32bit-English-X1899604.iso,media=cdrom,size=2723468K
memory: 1024
name: win8.1-32
net0: virtio=6A:BE:03:9D:49:F4,bridge=vmbr0
ostype: win8
sockets: 1
virtio0: local:105/vm-105-disk-1.qcow2,format=qcow2,cache=writeback,size=32G

yes, 32bit works for me too. I will check 64 bit now.
 
So far I got the 8.1 64 edition only running on a AMD box, and without virtio (on my intel test server I got boot loop with the 64-bit edition)

physical cpu: AMD Athlon II Neo N36L (HP microserver)

Code:
qm config 108

boot: cdn
bootdisk: ide1
cores: 1
cpu: host
ide1: local:108/vm-108-disk-1.qcow2,format=qcow2,cache=writeback,size=32G
ide2: nfs-mits1:iso/WindowsBlue-ClientwithApps-64bit-English-X1899605.iso,media=cdrom

name: win81-64
net0: e1000=B6:3E:DB:FA:AE:F2,bridge=vmbr0

It seems there's a problem with the kvm64 CPU type - I got around the boot loop by switching the CPU to emulate Nehalem.
(apologies for the double post - for some reason my original reply didn't show up)

(I'm going to add a patch for next proxmox release, to add the missing flag to kvm64 cpu def)

Any chance of it arriving via updates?

When is the next release scheduled for and what will be in it? the roadmap stops at 3.1

Just curious, thanks.
