Thanks. I have a little progress. On the Toshiba 4000 CDS this weekend, "vga=788" gives a display. Also I found that a vga/vesa number which is faulty, will prompt grub or the kernel to display a list of configurations and wait for a choice. When the system prompt appears I can again try qemu -m 40 -boot d -cdrom /home/peter/AosCD.iso Some text from qemu flashes briefly on the screen and then it grinds to a halt with this message. Could not open '/dev/kqemu' - QEMU acceleration layer not activated: No such file or directory Could not open SDL display I've installed the kqemu packages yet /dev/kqemu is absent. What is the problem with kqemu? Thanks for any further ideas, ...
