[Qemu-devel] qemu under x86_64: grub segfault, ld-linux.so segfault, lost ticks

[J M Cerqueira Esteves <jmce@artenumerica.com>]

As I said before, under

 Host CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (machine: HP dx5150 MT)
 Host operating system: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
 Host kernel: one of the Ubuntu pre-packaged ones,
              2.6.15-26-amd64-k8 (SMP PREEMPT)
 QEMU: 0.8.2, configured with -cc=gcc-3.4 --enable-alsa
 kqemu: 1.3.0pre9

I couldn't install Debian amd64 testing (etch)
in a vm because of an "Unexpected exception 0x0d"
on the host, crashing qemu.

I'm able to install If I *disable* use of kqemu, but:

- grub segfaults, failing to install the boot loader on the guest hard
  disk (previously also noticed this installing a kubuntu guest),
  so I used lilo;

- installing new Debian amd64 kernel packages seems to work, except
  that I get an error like this on the console:
     ld-linux.so.2[5145]: segfault at 00000000ffffbffc rip
       0000000056565019 rsp ffff8100ffffc000 error 6

- I get warnings about lost ticks and the clock runs too fast:

      warning: many lost ticks
      Your time source seems to be instable or some driver is hogging
      interrupts


Best regards
                         J Esteves
