[Qemu-devel] Problem with x86_64 bit linux guest (2.6.18), opensuse

[Werner Dittmann]

All,

some time ago I reported problems with Qemu and the
installation of openSUSE 10.1 or 10.2 64bit systems.

Today I did a CVS download and compiled Qemu again, using
a gcc 3.3.6 compiler. To simplify it I configured it as
follows:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --cc=/opt/gcc33/bin/gcc-3.3 \
 --enable-adlib --target-list="i386-softmmu x86_64-softmmu"

For Kqemu I use that latest tar.gz version (1.3.0pre11),
compiled with the standard compiler (gcc 4.1.2) on my
openSUSE 10.2 system (Host). Hardware is AMD Athlon 64bit.

My W2K works with qemu, with -kernel-kqemu -no-acpi.

But trying to install a standard openSUSE 10.2 from
DVD image fails. When using -kernel-kqemu it loops
(seems forever), starting without it crashes shortly
after the installation process started while scaning
some devices.

Checking documentation says:
	x86_64 full virtualization support for kqemu.

Is this a know problem? shall I use a different gcc to
build qemu? some switches to set? config options?

Regards,
Werner

An additionl to my previous post:

I tried to install openSUSE X86_64 with -no-kqemu. This
time it went ok until the step that installs grub to prpare
the disk for first boot. AFAIK this problem was also
reported some time ago.

Is there any way I can help here, for example creating
dumps, traces that give additional information on top
what was alraedy posted some time ago.

Regards,
Werner
