Hello. This problem appears to be the result of a bug in QEMU that have been fixed in the Subversion repository, as the following log message indicates:
r5963 | aurel32 | 2008-12-10 16:02:16 +0100 (Wed, 10 Dec 2008) | 12 lines target-i386: Fix jmp im on x86_64 when executing 32-bit code When running grub-install (32-bit) on an x86_64 Linux system in qemu, it hangs on a pagefault forever, because an integer overflow occurs on the IP on "jmp im". This patch masks overflows for 32 bit IPs on a 64 bit system, just like it is done for 16 bit IPs already. Using this patch, x86_64 openSUSE installation works again.
