Re: [Qemu-devel] Problem with x86_64 bit linux guest (2.6.18), opensuse

[Werner Dittmann]

An additionl to my previous post:

I tried to install openSUSE X86_64 with -no-kqemu. This
time it went ok until the step that installs grub to prpare
the disk for first boot. AFAIK this problem was also
reported some time ago.

Is there any way I can help here, for example creating
dumps, traces that give additional information on top
what was alraedy posted some time ago.

Regards,
Werner
