Package: qemu Version: 0.6.1-1 Severity: normal
I tried to configure qemu network using tun/tap device. I wanted to have full access to my network from the emulated system so I configured a bridge device in my kernel using bridge device module and bridge-utils. It runs perfectly well using kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686(using a slightly modified version of /etc/qemu-ifup script which you can look up below) but having a pentium 4 - HT I normally use the smp enabled kernel-image (kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686-smp). With a smp enabled kernel if you have your tun device added to a bridge a crash occures just before you shut down your emulated environment (f.g if you run windows 98 and shut it down using the start button but other don't make a difference). A workaround I found is to manually delete the tun device from the bridge setup just before you shut qemu: # brctl delif br0 tun0 If you forget to do so your system will crash. It might be it's more general issue or perhaps it's only related to the current kernel-images shipped. Or there's a need for a /etc/qemu-ifdown script to be present or invoked before the application goes down. Here's my slightly modified /etc/qemu-ifup script to automatically bring the virtual interface up with my bridge: #!/bin/sh #sudo -p "Password for $0:" /sbin/ifconfig $1 172.20.0.1 up sudo -p "Password for $0:" /sbin/ifconfig $1 up ; brctl addif br0 tun0 and below I attach my /etc/network/interfaces config: auto lo iface lo inet loopback # This entry was created during the Debian installation auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual address 192.168.1.12 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.243 auto br0 iface br0 inet static address 192.168.1.12 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.243 bridge_ports eth0 -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-pentium4 Locale: LANG=pl_PL, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Versions of packages qemu depends on: ii bochsbios 2.1.1+20041109-2 BIOS for the Bochs emulator ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libsdl1.2debi 1.2.7+1.2.8cvs20041007-4.1 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii sharutils 1:4.2.1-11 shar, unshar, uuencode, uudecode ii vgabios 0.4c+20041014-1 VGA BIOS software for the Bochs an ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-3 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
