[Qemu-devel] Qemu on windows problem

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Hi,

For the next week or so I'm forced to leave my Linux behind and be
stuck with Windows XP (it's funny using Linux for most of the time and
after switching temporarily to XP I'm already missing my Linux :-) )

Anyway, I downloaded the qemu daily from Free OS Zoo (thanks guys) and
I have small problem..

No matter what I type at the qemu parameter - I get nothing, it's just
bounces 1 line (I'm using the 19/12 snapshot) and returns to command
prompt. I tried to use the qemumenu, but that doesn't seem to help...

Am I doing something wrong? I have XP Pro SP2...

Here's the output (my Windows 2000 guest is in a bootable DVD which I
tested booting on qmeu Linux):

[Mon 12/20/2004  1:55:11.68]   qemu.exe -L "\Qemu\bios" -m 128 -hda "M:\Qemu\win
2k.img" -cdrom "d:\" -boot d -enable-audio -localtime
Press any key to continue . . .
M:\Qemu>

Thanks a lot,
Hetz

The bios path looks strange to me, like missing drive letter or useless
leading backslash. Second thing could be your -cdrom param, you are trying
to use a real device and that's not supported on windows.

Thanks for this information. Maybe the windows port should mention
that real device support is not available on Windows...

Thanks again,
Hetz

I'm agree with you but how to be sure people really read these shipped
docs :)

Leading slash means root directory on current disk.

Thanks, I have learned something again, I learn a lot by
means of qemu, that's great.
