Hello,

I have been trying to run qmeu with kvm support on gentoo. It seems to compile and the module is inserted but when qemu starts, there is the flash of a message then the whole screen turns to black with a funny blue border and a small icon 'thing' in the middle.

Does anyone else have this problem or has anyone managed to install this on gentoo x86_64 yet?

Thanks
Neil

MMmm got some output now from the console before the screen locks:

Can anyone decrypt this for me please?

Is DirectFB stopping sdl from working?

Thanks

I checked out the svn head version yesterday (revision 4125). I had to reinstall gcc-3.4 for the qemu directory compilation. Here is how I compiled it:

Code:

junior trunk # gcc-config -c
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1
junior trunk # gcc-config -l
 [1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6
 [2] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardened
 [3] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednopie
 [4] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednopiessp
 [5] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednossp
 [6] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1 *
junior trunk # ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/kvm --qemu-cc=/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.4.6/gcc

followed by make, etc.

I was able to run a linux guest image no problems (lintrack). I did also manage to install windows2k as well, but I had to use a bunch of extra command line options to qemu-system-x86_64 ("-win2k-hack -no-acpi -no-kvm").

It seems usable but won't run well until they fold some ACPI patches into the kernel module. Still, I was able to create a win2k guest image. Maybe I can run it under VMWare until kvm gets more mature.

What image are you trying to run?
