[Qemu-devel] Odd hangs

["M. Warner Losh" <imp@bsdimp.com>]

Greetings,

We've been using qemu heavily to emulate a powerpc with the prep
machine.  Our environment is a bunch of programs running under Linux
2.6.24.  We've seen a number of hangs in this environment.  The hangs
are never in the same place.  They are always appear to be in the qemu
emulation layer.  This is with 0.9.1, although we've seen this in
0.9.0 as well.

Before doing a deep dive into the qemu cpu emulation code, I thought
I'd ask here if other people are seeing a similar problem or not.

I know this is a vague description, and I'm not expecting people to
send me patches based on it.  This is a request more for other people
that have been using powerpc + linux heavily in recent qemu and can
comment on its stability...

Thanks a bunch

Warner
