[Qemu-devel] Problem with x86_64 bit linux guest (2.6.18), opensuse

[Werner Dittmann <Werner.Dittmann@t-online.de>]

All,

some time ago I reported problems with Qemu and the
installation of openSUSE 10.1 or 10.2 64bit systems.

Today I did a CVS download and compiled Qemu again, using
a gcc 3.3.6 compiler. To simplify it I configured it as
follows:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --cc=/opt/gcc33/bin/gcc-3.3 \
 --enable-adlib --target-list="i386-softmmu x86_64-softmmu"

For Kqemu I use that latest tar.gz version (1.3.0pre11),
compiled with the standard compiler (gcc 4.1.2) on my
openSUSE 10.2 system (Host). Hardware is AMD Athlon 64bit.

My W2K works with qemu, with -kernel-kqemu -no-acpi.

But trying to install a standard openSUSE 10.2 from
DVD image fails. When using -kernel-kqemu it loops
(seems forever), starting without it crashes shortly
after the installation process started while scaning
some devices.

Checking documentation says:
	x86_64 full virtualization support for kqemu.

Is this a know problem? shall I use a different gcc to
build qemu? some switches to set? config options?

Regards,
Werner
