Hi Barry,

    I too run Fedora Core 2 as a host OS and have recently updated the
kernel to 2.6.8.  After reading your message I tested out the install of
Qemu that I have set up and all worked flawlessly (I'm using one of the
daily CVS snapshots, not 0.6.0).  My qemu command line is:
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 qemu -hda win98se_hda.img -boot c -cdrom
/dev/cdrom -enable-audio -nics 1 -m 512 -n network.sh -monitor stdio
-localtime

In answer to your second question, yes it is possible to connect a
serial port in qemu to a real serial port; I have posted patches to
enable this and others have posted patches to fix bugs we found in the
UART emulation along the way.  They're all on this mailing list :)


Cheers,
D
