[Qemu-devel] two repeatable kqemu-related crashes

2007-04-13 Thread Don Kitchen
Hi all I've found two repeatable (possibly related) ways to crash kqemu with 0.9.0 and several earlier versions also I think. It's under linux 2.6.9 fully updated CentOS 4.4 (clone of RH enterprise linux 4.4) First, I cannot use kqemu 1.3.0pre11 (either prebuilt or compiled from source, they're b

[Qemu-devel] cvs regression - blue screen INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

2007-01-02 Thread Don Kitchen
I just compiled CVS and have experienced a regression with some windows qcow images (2000 pro and server). The images work with cvs I compiled back in July, but current cvs produces blue screen with INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. I'm running under linux, with only option -hda disk. Thanks _

2006-07-30 Thread Don Kitchen
I've heard that VMware has the ability to do delta (incremental) images but I've never found it. With Qemu it's easy to make a large (read-only) system image (burned to CD or DVD, for example) and have all disk writes go to a different smaller media (like the USB flash drive you booted from, which

[Qemu-devel] qemu crash - W2k disk admin

2006-05-23 Thread Don Kitchen
I'm using CVS i386, running patched win2000 on a 4G qcow install, FAT formatted. Command line has only -hda and -snapshot. Qemu crashes consistently when I pull up the Disk Administrator in Administrative Tool's Computer Management, and click on the FAT partition. I get output like this: EAX=000

[Qemu-devel] new tundev.c/tapdev.c plus two nics

2006-01-18 Thread Don Kitchen
With the new command-line syntax for 0.8.0 I've modified the program that opens up tap devices (tundev.c) accordingly. The diffs are below for both tundev.c and another version that opens up two nics, tundev2.c. I am not providing the whole program because its license is not stated. If Fabrice can

[Qemu-devel] tap device and two nics

2005-10-04 Thread Don Kitchen
Hi, it looks like I stirred up some change by asking about tun and tap. (and definately it's important to know that "tun" is a tap device!) In case anyone's interested, here is a tapdev2.c that I put together to make use of two virtual nics as tap devices. Maybe also the script setup will interest

I'm very pleased with qemu's price/performance ratio. I've used that one "pricey" product at work, but it always seemed a bit expensive for home users. But I only knew about some of the other emulators, the ones that are so slow you wonder why didn't they warn you not to bother downloading the thi
