The problem is that I cannot get past the lilo prompt, in fact the Qemu process craches immediately after doing starting up its bios. I made the following stacktrace: Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. [Switching to Thread -1212492112 (LWP 24692)] 0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall () (gdb) where #0 0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb7c3d770 in raise () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #2 0xb7c3eef3 in abort () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #3 0x08100712 in kvm_run (kvm=0x9b57008, vcpu=0) at kvmctl.c:533 #4 0x080bdee0 in kvm_cpu_exec (env=0x9bed4f0) at /data/work/devel/kvm-7/qemu/qemu-kvm.c:398 #5 0x080bed16 in cpu_x86_exec (env1=0x6) at /data/work/devel/kvm-7/qemu/cpu-exec.c:459 #6 0x08051612 in main_loop () at /data/work/devel/kvm-7/qemu/vl.c:5174 #7 0x08052bcb in main (argc=374, argv=0x0) at /data/work/devel/kvm-7/qemu/vl.c:6366 The printout on the screen is $ sudo /usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu -hda /data/images/ubuntu1.img -cdrom /data/personal/archive/iso/ubuntu606.iso -boot d -m 512 -std-vga Password: vga_bios_size 0 exception 13 (0) Aborted (core dumped) (The same is true when I ommit the -std-vga option) The stacktrace indicates that the abort is explicitly called by kvm-user itself because of some error returned from the kernel module. I didn't investigate further what the reason could be as I though someone else on this list must have tried this before. Any help would be appreciated. Ron PS. I am trying this on an intel T2500 in a Dell D820 with VT enabled in the BIOS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
