[Qemu-devel] qemu-system-x86_64 crashes

[Erik de Castro Lopo <mle+tools@mega-nerd.com>]

Hi all,

I'm new to qemu and I'm getting this same crash on both the qemu packages
in Ubuntu Hardy Heron (0.9.1) and the version in SVN.

I'm running on an 2 * dual core AMD-64 system [0] which is running
Ubuntu Hardy Heron. I am trying to load debian testing AMD64 in
qemu. When running from the SVN compiled sources I do:

    x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -L pc-bios \
       -cdrom ~/Qemu/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso -m 512 \
       -boot d ~/Qemu/debian-64.img

I get the first boots splash screen and proceed to chose a language
and thats when qemu crashes with:

If I add -kernel-kqemu to the command line it crashes with a slightly
sooner with a slightly different register dump and the following in
the messages log:

    [224430.290033] kqemu: aborting: Unexpected exception 0x0d in monitor space
    [224430.290038] err=0000 CS:EIP=f180:00000000f0001f6f SS:SP=0000:00000000f00c6e00

Anyone have any idea what went wrong here?

I'm a reasonably advanced developer so if someone can point me in the
right direction, I'mmore than willing to hack on this.

Cheers,
Erik
