** Summary changed: - qemu: doesn't want to start XP + bochsbios too old for Windows XP with qemu/amd64
** Description changed: - Binary package hint: qemu + Qemu in Debian and Ubuntu are built to use BIOS images from the + bochsbios package instead of the builtin ones. Unfortunately, the + bochsbios images currently shipped with gutsy do not work with a Windows + XP guest in qemu on the amd64 architecture. The current Debian/testing + or Debian/unstable packages ship with a more recent BIOS and work fine. + So all that's needed to fix this bug is a new merge from Debian. - After updating to gutsy, qemu doesn't want to start an XP instance. I - tried with Damn Small Linux (from the CD ISO) and it works flawlessly. + Original bug description below: - It fails during XP's boottime. The qemu windows hangs up and can't even - switch to the qemu's console. - - I checked by downloading the source code (the "vanilla" code), compiling - it and running.. and found it works (with the same XP image). + > Binary package hint: qemu + > + > After updating to gutsy, qemu doesn't want to start an XP instance.
