The monitor loads, but after displaying the 'type help' message doesn't react to input anymore, stopping / crashing along with qemu. >> >> The command used to work perfectly with various versions of qemu, but >> now doesn't anymore.

At first I used the binary package, then the official sources, then a daily snapshot from dad-answers.com, all with the same result. In between I deleted all files which I could locate with 'qemu' in them in the hopes of gettind rid of the error, too. >> >> At first only my user ID had the problem, and root worked - but then I >> tried the -m 350 parameter with root, too, (not thinking, at the time, >> that it could be the cause of the problem) and since then, root hasn't >> been able to use qemu anymore either. >if u add a new user, can that user use qemu (provided you don't try "-m 350") ? No, I tried that yesterday, but a new user gets the same error. Root used not to get it when the user already did, but after using -m 350 with root, it no longer worked for root either. >> >> If I start qemu with the additional parameter -S I can still get into >> the monitor, but nothing I do there has any effect - the program still >> crashes as soon as I press c or enter cont.
