Using latest CVS, 'qemu -m 350' works perfectly fine for me. In fact it works fine for qemu 0.5.5 as well. Only difference is that I use kerenl 2.4.26 and I have the rtc set to 100hz instead of 1024hz. I also have never installed or used kqemu. Can you run gdb on it and figure out where in the code it freezes? -- Infinite complexity begets infinite beauty. Infinite precision begets infinite perfection.
