It's on an amd64 (3 years old, 2GB, Athlon X2). -current as of Mar 21, qemu & kqemu-devel were built on mar 29. I am using qemu, not qemu-system-x86_64 as the emulation of its 32 bit mode is not good enough. Make sure you haven't loaded aio.ko as async. IO is no longer necessary for kqemu. Not sure if 8GB is a problem but to test that you can disable kqemu.
