Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: shutdown2k (shutdown2k) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: QEMU / KVM incompatibility Initial Comment: System: Debian Etch RC3, Kernel 2.6.20-rc3 AMD Athlon X2 External KVM Modules (up2date svn version) Problem: qemu-system-x86_64 -m 384 -no-acpi -L ./bios -std-vga -soundhw es1370 -localtime -hda ./vdisk_xp.img -boot c QEMU window shows up very for a very short time and terminates within less than a second. The only message I get is: "vga_bios_size 0" I am using the VGA BIOS from http://www.nongnu.org/vgabios/ version 0.6a. There are 2 workarounds that work for me: 1. Disable KVM: qemu-system-x86_64 -m 384 -no-acpi -L ./bios -std-vga -soundhw es1370 -localtime -hda ./vdisk_xp.img -boot c -no-kvm Don't like it because this virtual machine 's gonna be really sloooooow and actually renders the Pacifica instructions of my CPU useless. "vga_bios_size 0" is also reported when starting it that way. 2. Disable VESA graphics: qemu-system-x86_64 -m 384 -no-acpi -L ./bios -soundhw es1370 -localtime -hda ./vdisk_xp.img -boot c Don't like this because graphics will be somewhat limited in the virtual machine... This solution doesn't report "vga_bios_size 0", so I guess this message is related to -std-vga and is not responsible for my problem at all. So it would be great if you could figure out what's wrong and fix it. You guys are doing a really great job, I enjoy using the Pacifica instructions of my CPU a lot :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=893831&aid=1629495&group_id=180599 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
