[Qemu-devel] SIGSEGV with WinXP PRO PL instalation (CVS)

[Grzegorz Kulewski]

Hi,

Using today (morning) CVS I tried to intall WinXP PRO PL. I was using this 
command line:

qemu -hda winxppropl.img -cdrom Pl_WinXP_Pro_ISO.iso -pci -cirrusvga -m 256


Installer finished first part of instalation and "reboted" "machine". It 
continued, asked me about key, ..., network setup and then was still doing 
something, but I do not know what because I was eating lunch. :-)

When I returned QEMU was not there and only 

QEMU 0.5.5 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) Naruszenie ochrony pamieci

appeared on the terminal. (This is Polish translation for SIGSEGV.)


Has anyone saw such problem?

Are the -pci and -cirrusvga options supposed to work with XP currently?

How can I debug it further? (What should I do with gdb because I do not 
know this debuger?)

Do I need anything to do after intalling QEMU in order to use -cirrusvga?

Why is message:

warning: could not open /dev/net/tun: no virtual network emulation
Could not configure '/dev/rtc' to have a 1024 Hz timer. This is not a 
fatal
error, but for better emulation accuracy either use a 2.6 host Linux 
kernel or
type 'echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq' as root.

appearing on the screen althought I added this line to startup scripts 
years ago for mplayer. Strace shows that device is opened properly but 
ioctl fails (not supported). I am using 2.6.6-mm4 currently. The same 
problem is recently with mplayer, so I think that kernel people changed 
something...


Thanks in advance,
