[Qemu-devel] Summary of problems with Mandrake 10

[Jean-Michel POURE]

Dear all,

Mandrake 10 final version is available for download from 
http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/ftp.php3

The installation CD has two boot options:
- alt1: kernel 2.6.3
- alt0: kernel 2.4.25

alt0 always results in "No CDROM device found".

alt1 results in:
- segfault if qemu started in frame buffer mode (no pci)
- segfault of X11 is qemu is started with -pci -cirrusvga. Installation 
continues in text mode.

Today, the only way to install Mandrake 10 is to start qemu in PCI mode with 
Cirrusvga and type alt1.

Maybe it would be nice to debug this Mandrake10 problems and understand the 
underlying causes. Just my 0.01 euro. I really would like to be able to 
install a Mandrake 10 distro under Qemu...

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
