[Qemu-devel] Windows XP Home on qemu 0.6.0 and Mac OS X 10.3.8

[martin]

Hi guys
I recently installed Windows XP Home on qemu 0.6.0 (using the
installer from freeoszoo) and Mac OS X 10.3.8.

motivation:
use some cd-roms that run only on Wintel.

Maybe someone is interested in my "instructions":

summary:
- it takes ages
- it is slow
-> it works, but it is not usable.

http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/kqemu-doc.html indicates kqemu is
only for x86 Linux 2.4.x and Linux 2.6.x, not PPC Xnu 7.9.x.   Qemu
0.6.0 might also be too old to take advantage of kqemu.

If he used the installer from Free OS Zoo, this would seem to indicate
he doesn't know which compile options were used.  In any case, I would
hope that if the kqemu options cause large overhad, they weren't
turned on for a compilation targeted at both an architecture and
kernel for which kqemu did not exist at the time of compiliation.

Are you suggesting that his emulator is running slowly because it is
repeatedly attempting and failing to use the accelerated kernel
interface?

The version martin uses is 0.6.0<version<0.6.1, so there were no  
kqemu support at this time.

That's it, I didn't compile qemu myself.

Hm... the emulator did work, but I can't tell if any part was failing.
I could not find any evidence in the log files.

I'll give an update as soon as I will have tried Win98.
