If I start qemu process and I don't press any key, I can use the keyboard once the operating system boots. Rebooting the guest doesn't fix the problem, even if I don't touch the keyboard before the OS boots any more. Only stopping the guest and starting a new qemu process fixes the problem. Anyone else saw it as well? If not, try something like that on your guests: grep i8042 /var/log/kern* (or grep "i8042.c: No controller found" /var/log/kern*) Some more confirmations of this problem in the internet: http://qemu-forum.ipi.fi/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4461 http://osdir.com/ml/fedora-virt/2009-04/msg00066.html http://www.proxmox.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1163 -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org
