Must have missed it. :\ Thanks! Unfortunately, it still does not work. > Qemu crashes now as windows switches to graphics mode. Safe mode does not > work either.. For now I'd suggest trying the following: * download the latest qemu cvs snapshot > cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/qemu co qemu > cd qemu * apply the patch for hw/vga_int.h and change VGA_RAM_SIZE in hw/pc.h to 16 * 1024 * 1024 (16MB) * configure, make and install qemu > ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/qemu-cvs && make (use whatever prefix you like) # make install (as root) * download, configure, make and install kqemu (optional, but highly suggested) > wget http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/kqemu-1.3.0pre11.tar.gz > tar -xzf kqemu-1.3.0pre11.tar.gz > cd kqemu-1.3.0pre11 > ./configure && make # make install (as root) * copy the modified vgabios.bin to the qemu dir > wget http://www.wina.at/vgabios.bin # cp vgabios.bin /usr/local/qemu-cvs/share/qemu (as root; change to target path according to the prefix you used above) * start your vm image as usual, but use /usr/local/qemu-cvs/bin/qemu instead of qemu/kvm. if kqemu does not work, reading the documentation http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/kqemu-doc.html might help. Please test it that way. If it works, it should be possible to make it working with kvm as well. cheers, Andi ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
