Hi,

I assume that you tried this (as it was suggested by an earlier mail):

qemu -serial stdio -nographic ...

This results in an error message for me, too:

chardev: opening backend "stdio" failed
qemu: could not open serial device 'stdio': No such file or directory

Try this variant (which works for me):

qemu -nographic ...

It will redirect the serial output (first serial port) of your guest os to
standard output, so you can write it to a file with the usual methods,
for example this one:

qemu -nographic ... | tee log.txt
