[Qemu-devel] QEMU 0.15.1 Linux

[Gus Zernial]

I have Kubuntu 11.10 Oneiric with standard 3.0.0-12-generic kernel on an AMD 
Phenom II X6 box.
I've been running Windows 7 guest under qemu ....

$ /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -version
QEMU emulator version 0.14.1 (qemu-kvm-0.14.1), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice 
Bellard

$ sudo /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -boot c -drive 
file=~/Win7.img,if=virtio -m 4096 -smp 1,cores-6 -net 
nic,vlan=0,macaddr=52:54:db:7f:0c:3d,model=virtio  -net tap -vga cirrus 
-soundhw hda -cdrom /dev/sr0

This boots the Windows 7 client, no problems

Then I installed qemu-0.15.1, compiled and installed from source and ran the 
same qemu startup command 
line with the new version

$ /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -version
QEMU emulator version 0.15.1, Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard

$ sudo /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -boot c -drive 
file=~/Win7.img,if=virtio -m 4096 -smp 1,cores-6 -net 
nic,vlan=0,macaddr=52:54:db:7f:0c:3d,model=virtio  -net tap -vga cirrus 
-soundhw hda -cdrom /dev/sr0

This results in Windows BSOD. I tried installing 
libvirt-bin_0.9.6~oneiric-2ubuntu5_amd64 to see if that would
help, but it didn't. It's possible there's some prerequisite or compile option 
for the new version, not sure?

Can someone tell me what's wrong and/or how to fix?


Thx, Gus
