Hi.  I'm not sure this message made it to the list (I never saw it come 
back), so I'm re-sending it.  If it actually did make it before, I 
apologize.

Thanks.

Subject: kqemu on celeron 64-bit

Hi.  I'm attempting to run qemu with kqemu on an intel celeron host, with a 
variety of guests, and getting no luck.

I've got a few different guests I'm trying:
1. Damn-Small Linux, a 32bit linux 2.4 kernel.
2. Puppy Linux, a 32bit linux 2.6 kernel.
3. Debian businesscard, a 64bit linux 2.6 kernel.

Lemme show you what versions of things I'm using:
QEMU PC emulator version 0.9.0, Copyright (c) 2003-2007 Fabrice Bellard
(I downloaded the source and compiled it)

kqemu, I got the source package from ubuntu gutsy:  1.3.0~pre11-6

Linux version 2.6.22-14-generic (address@hidden) (gcc version 4.1.3 20070929

All of these things work if kqemu is not enabled.  Here's how they fail if I do 
try to use kqemu and qemu-system-x86_64:

1. Damn-Small Linux begins to start Xwindows, and then hangs with a black
   screen indefinitely.
2. Puppy Linux prints a kernel crash onto the SDL screen.  I can't figure
   out how to get it to run with a serial console, though.  Otherwise, I
   would've loved to have copy/pasted it here.  I included a screenshot of
   that one.
3. Debian businesscard actually crashed the whole emulator.  This is what
   it printed on my console after it crashed.

I don't know if the debugging info I've provided is the right stuff, so tell me 
if you need anything else.


Thanks.
