Hello and sorry for the long delay (I had been busy in too many things...). I tried the test you suggested and found out that the virtual machine fails to boot! The attached screenshot is what is shown in the graphical window... seemingly forever. I haven't even tried to connect to /tmp/ttyS0, as I guess a virtual machine that fails to boot will never bring the serial terminal emulator up and running... I am really ignorant about qemu: do you happen to have any idea on what went wrong? -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare! To the laboratory! ..................................................... Francesco Poli . GnuPG key fpr == CA01 1147 9CD2 EFDF FB82 3925 3E1C 27E1 1F69 BFFE
