[Qemu-devel] segfault in current cvs

[Jens Axboe]

Hi,

Tried to launch a win98 iso, but it segfaults right away. No matter what
I try, I get this:

which looks odd, given the !tb check just a few lines up. I'm using:

Hi,

I made no tests of the current release of QEMU on PowerPC. I will try to 
  debug it before releasing the 0.5.2 (during this week if everything is 
OK). Was the 0.5.1 working correctly with a Linux image ?

Yeah, 0.5.1 worked beautifully. It got pretty far in an XP install, too
:-)

This is the same segfault I get when running ordinary x86 linux binaries
on my ppc yellowdog box.  I hope we can find a solution to this problem.

I was mistaken.  My segfault is in cpu-all.h, in the inline function
ldub_raw.  The ptr passed to the inline function is null for some
reason.

The call trace is:
#0  disas_insn (s=0x7ffff448, pc_start=0x0) at cpu-all.h:61
#1  0x6003179c in gen_intermediate_code_internal (env=0x1,

This is probably an issue with the new x86 glibc which doesn't always
seem to be compatible with the qemu synthetic virtual x86 processor.
