[Qemu-devel] qemu and debian-4.0r0-linux?

[ISHWAR RATTAN]

Has any one had success with this install? It seems to
fail all the time even with -nographic option (this worked
for 3.1r1)?

Which port?  i386, amd64, arm, mips(el), sparc or ppc?

How are you booting the installer?  I.e. which CD image?

What version of QEMU are you using?  0.9.0?  Or are you using CVS?

Could you describe the failure at all?  (Any console output would help.)

Thanks.

The host system is Pentium 4 runing Linux.

Qemu is qemu-0.9.0 (snapshot 4/26)

I tried the net-installs:
   debian-40r0-sparc-netinst.iso
and
   debian-testing-sparc-netinst.iso

both stop at random points during the
step installing the systsem:

error seen:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
tsk->{mm,active,mm}->context = 000000c3
tsk->{mm, active,mm}->pgd = fc017000
Kernel panic -- not syncing; killing interrupt handler

I didn't get this error, but the install just stuck at 7%. This may be
related to other problems reported on the installer:

I have Debian 4.0r0-i386 installed on Qemu 0.90.0 and kqemu 1.3.0pre11
with -kernel-kqemu enabled.  I installed in graphical mode from DVD. 
Everything works and is stable including, unfortunately (was playing
Gweled.... that loop gets really old really fast), sound.

Host is an x86_64 running a locally rolled rpm based on an srpm of an
earlier qemu package at dag.
