Re: [Qemu-devel] FW: QEMU and suspend2

[John Coiner <jcoiner@stanfordalumni.org>]

Simon,

There's a known issue with using suspend2 on a QEMU host, described here:

http://people.brandeis.edu/~jcoiner/qemu_idedma/qemu_dma_patch.html#suspend

But, it sounds like you have trouble with a suspend2-capable guest 
kernel, and that the trouble starts as soon as you boot (ie before you 
actually use the suspend2 feature.) Is that right?

You might try uncommenting the "#define DEBUG_NE2000" line in 
hw/ne2000.c, recompiling, and then comparing the debug log from a 
vanilla guest kernel against the debug log from a suspend2 guest kernel.

Good luck.
