Subject: [gentoo-user] Is Qemu dead?
Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2011 14:14:53 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <j5va4t$dck$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)

I've been trying to use Qemu to do some test installs of Ubuntu
server.  I've used Qemu successfully in the past, but it seems to have
hit a dead end.  The "stable" version (0.11) of Qemu just plain
doesn't work. There are constant segfaults and kernel panics in the
guest environment.

I updated to the ~x86 version (0.14) -- while the guest OS installs
and runs OK, kernel acceleration (kqemu module) is no longer
supported, and without it Qemu is really slow.  

For now I've switched to VirtualBox, but the console implementation in
VirtualBox is nightmarishly slow. When I do -l looks like it's
scrolling by at about 9600 baud.

Is Qemu dead?  Or just dying?
