[Qemu-devel] qemu segfaults at start

[octane indice]

Hello

I tried to use qemu on x86-32 in order to emulate x86-32bits.
I did a:
wget http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-0.15.0.tar.gz
tar zxvf qemu-0.15.0.tar.gz
cd qemu-0.15.0
./configure --enable-system --target-list=i386-softmmu
make
sudo make install

then:
qemu disk.img
Segmentation fault

I just have a window that popup then disappear. I tried several options and it 
allways do a segfault.

I tried with the 0.14.1 version, and same results.

What information do you need in order to help me?

Thanks

Please post the backtrace as well as your host operating system
version (e.g. Fedora 15):

gdb --args qemu disk.img
(gdb) r
...runs and crashes...
(gdb) bt

how about invoking it as:
qemu -hda disk.img
?
does that make any difference? perhaps adding -S too so we could find
out whether it reach the very initial point.....

/usr/local/bin/qemu is stripped because it was installed with make install,
so there is no useful debugging information.

Please look for the unstripped i386-softmmu/qemu executable in your build path
and run it using gdb.

You can run QEMU completely without a disk, just run:
$ gdb qemu
(gdb) r

I wonder if it crashes that way too.
