I'm copying here in case anyone has any ideas. I'm 99% it's a problem with GNU/Hurd rather than QEMU, but you never know and there is a wealth of experience here which may be able to help and share ideas. -Nigel -------- Original Message -------- I've just downloaded http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/installer/cdimage/current/debian-6.0-hurd-i386-DVD-1.iso and tried to install it under the GIT version of QEMU. I thought you'd like some feedback. Here are the arguments I use: qemu-img create hurd-20120715 4G -f qcow qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=hurd-20120715,index=0,media=disk,cache=writeback,aio=native -drive file=/d/ISO/hurd-20120715.iso,index=1,media=cdrom -boot d -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user,hostname=qemu.bandsman.co.uk -machine accel=kvm,kernel_irqchip=on -cpu host -m 256 -redir tcp:2232::22 Installing using 'text install', 'automated install' or 'expert install' loops with the message: Unknown terminal: gnu-mach-color Check the TERM environment variable. Also make sure that the terminal is defined in the terminfo database. Alternatively, set the TERMCAP environment variable to the desired termcap entry. 'Pseudo graphical install' works (choosing British English and the UK as the language and location and ignoring the huge number of hd2 tray open messages) as far as network installation/configuration. That fails as expected (see http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install). After I choose 'Do not configure the network at this time' I get screen which is all blue except for the bottom line which is black with a blinking cursor. Nothing more happens. 'Graphical install' fails with "Cannot open keyboard (No such file or directory)" I hope this all helps. Keep up the good work! -Nigel
