Hi there Qemu enthusiasts. :)
First, some background info:
Qemu: 0.6.0 - CVS HEAD
Guest: Fedora Core 2 Linux
Host: WinXP Corp.
I get all the way through the installation, qemu warm reboots
and it goes through some configuration, warm reboots again,
then actually does run WinXP (beautiful). I get to the desktop
and can run programs and configure the system. I can even do
warm reboots and get all the way back to the desktop again, as
long as I don't shut down qemu.
But, as soon as I shut qemu down and try to restart it, then
it doesn't boot anymore.
With a regular image hard drive file (non-COW), created via
qemu-img, I get the boot screen saying:
A disk read error occurred
Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to restart
And running all the way through the same exact test with a COW
image, created via qemu-mkcow, I get:
address@hidden qemu]# qemu -hda xp.cow
Connected to host network interface: tun0
Segmentation fault
Also, after these images are in this state, I tried various versions
of qemu including 0.6.0 and each of them does the above. No
difference. Also, the command line arguments don't seem to matter
either. I tried various permutations of networking, -isa, larger
memory, with/without CDROM, etc. Also, the same qemu installations
run Linux as a guest OS just fine (well, except that network port
redirections don't work at all, which I'll probably also mail you
about...).
Ideas?
Thanks.
