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? -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! What UNIVERSE is this, at please?? gmail.com
