[Qemu-devel] KQEMU on Linux-AMD64 host: SESSION5_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

[Qemu-devel] KQEMU on Linux-AMD64 host: SESSION5_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

[Sebastián E. Peyrott]

Hi! I've been testing the latest versions of QEMU and
KQEMU (7.1 and the 25072005 snapshot); great job to
everyone involved!
With KQEMU enabled, WinXP and Win2K fail to start. The
installers also fail with the same message right after
loading the drivers (right before showing the first
screen with selectable options).

Here's the BSOD:
*** STOP: 0x00000071
(0x00000000,0x00000000,0x00000000,0x00000000)
SESSION5_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

On Windows 98SE, the system freezes while showing the
Win logo. I still have to try a clean install (I'll
start with that now).

QEMU is compiled with SDL.
Parameters for qemu-system-x86_64: -cdrom /dev/dvd
-localtime -monitor stdio -hda [Win2K.img|WinXP.img]
[-win2k-hack] [-enable-audio]

Disabling kqemu with -no-kqemu solves the problem.

I can post more information if needed.

Regards,
Pse

Just a followup:
The problem has been confirmed to happen with GCC
3.3.5 and GCC 4. Debian-based system (Ubuntu Hoary). 
A screenshot can be found here:

Apparently, QVM86 also behaves in a similar way.

I've only tested OEM XP and 2K versions of Windows.
I'm not familiar with Qemu's codebase, but I'd be glad
to help in any way I can.
Thanks.
