[Qemu-devel] Problem(s) with encrypted images

[nuitari-qemu@nuitari.net]

Hi,

First I would like to apologize if this isn't the correct place for this. 
The Qemu-users board won't let me agree to the terms and when I view 
threads found by the search engine I get a lot of error messages about the 
session table being corrupted.

This is on a non-kvm "vintage" opteron. Linux is the host and another 
linux is the guest OS. I use kqemu once the kernel is compiled. (btw the 
kernel panics inside the guest with kqemu using the gentoo live cds).

Anyways, here are the problems that I've found:
1. Qemu-img doesn't show a password prompt when I create a new encrypted 
image. It does show it when I convert a plain text image to an encrypted 
one.

2. When I start qemu, it just hangs there waiting for (assumingly) the 
password of the encrypted image. However I cannot find the place where the 
prompt actually is.

I've tried staring it with stdio as the monitor, which just errored out.
Inside a vnc server it would do the same thing.
It also does not open the vnc server nor the tcp server for the monitor to 
askk for it.

Does encryption work in QEMU 0.9.1?
