hello my hd is actually partitioned according to this table # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda4 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hda2 /media/win vfat noauto,rw,user 1 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/sda1 /media/pen0 vfat noauto,user,async,rw 0 0
where /dev/hda2 is a WinXp partition and /dev/hda4 a Linux one. I'd like to boot XP in /dev/hda2 while running Debian but the error is: roberto:~# qemu -snapshot -boot c -hda /dev/hda2 ... warning: could not open /dev/net/tun: no virtual network emulation Could not initialize SDL - exiting roberto:~# i've correctly installed libsdl1.2-dev and i do not understand the problem with SDL. I am not interestend at all in network configuration since i use net only under linux; my one aim is to use the XP in /dev/hda2 without rebooting or installing a new Win in /dev/hda4... is it possible? any help is very appreciated!! -- roberto OS: GNU/Linux, Debian sarge kernel: 2.6.8-2-686 KDE: 3.3 editor: gvim 6.3.71 VM: qemu, 0.6.1
