I have an NT4 guest OS setup (I copied the nt4.dsk file from a colleague so I did not install from scratch). This works OK except for the fact that when doing nothing in the virtual PC (according to NT perf.mon.) it uses 98-100% system CPU time and using truss I only see this being repeated all the time at an enormous speed: syscall linux_newselect(0x15,0xbfbff474,0x0,0x0,0xbfbff468) returns 0 (0x0) syscall linux_ioctl(0xa,0xcb,0xbfbff540) returns 311 (0x137) syscall gettimeofday(0xbfbff4e8,0x0) returns 0 (0x0) syscall linux_newselect(0x15,0xbfbff474,0x0,0x0,0xbfbff468) returns 0 (0x0) syscall linux_ioctl(0xa,0xcb,0xbfbff540) returns 311 (0x137) syscall gettimeofday(0xbfbff4e8,0x0) returns 0 (0x0) Anybody any idea where I can start looking for the problem?
