[Qemu-devel] qemu and xubuntu as client

[Jens Arm]

Hi


If I try to start xubuntu/ubuntu (6.10) in qemu from cdrom
the isolinux 3.11 says Loading... but can not change to graphic mode.

How can I start ubuntu in qemu?

Are you trying the x86-64 version, or the x86 version?  I haven't been able to 
get the 64-bit version to work for a while.  The bios doesn't seem to like 
grub...

It is booting the x86 version from CD. ISOLinux is trying to change
to graphic (perhaps vesa), but qemu ist using 100% CPU and nothing happens.
Qemu is newest from svn.

Hi


I have tried some more and if I use the bios from qemu-0.8.2
with the newest svn I can boot the ubuntu cd.

Looks like there is a bug in the qemu bios.

I just commited a new updated Bochs BIOS. The esp fix should help for 
Ubuntu.

This bug is fixed in the original Bochs BIOS from CVS.

Same here. I downloaded Ubuntu 6.10 i386. I can't get it booting on
neither on a Pentium4 + Qemu-i386 nor on an AMD64 + Qemu-x86_64.

I tried disabling kqemu, enabling kernel-kqemu, acpi etc... i found no
option that could unlock the loading of the iso bootloader.

There is absolutly no problem booting it on the real host CPUs.
