It is not clear under what host/osversion kqemu can be used reliably. See http://m2.dad-answers.com/qemu-forum/viewforum.php?f=16&sid=cc4b0c564718db9b16ef279d73017615 for more reports of kqemu not working. under FreeBSD. Also there was a report on 9fans mailing about kqemu not working on a ubuntu linux host. They are not all A bug does not have to manifest itself everywhere before it gets fixed. I gaver a clear repeatable test that works on at least freebsd (but I suspect also on some linux versions) which should make it easy to track this down. Unfortunately I can't do much more than this not having kqemu sources (which is its authors's right -- I am just pointing out what I can do under the circumstance).
