Package: qemu Version: 0.9.0-1 Severity: wishlist I'm trying to use qemu to automate testing of d-i cd images. To do this I need to type "install console=ttyS0,9600n8" at the syslinuxa prompt, which is on the console, to get it to use the serial console. I can send everything I need except for the comma using the sendkey command.
Well, ok, it seems it actually works if I just use "console=ttyS0", so I don't 100% need this, but it's a lack, so I'm filing the bug anyway.. (BTW, where are the key names documented, besides the source? "spc", and "ret" are not easy to guess.) (BTW, I also tried using -curses mode, but it seems that with -curses, -serial tcp::9999,server does not work, it does not stop and wait for a connection to that port. And running the whole install at the console in curses mode is not practical.) -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages qemu depends on: ii bochsbios 2.3-2 BIOS for the Bochs emulator ii libasound2 1.0.13-2 ALSA library ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.11-8 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii openhackware 0.4.1-2 OpenFirmware emulator for PowerPC ii proll 18-2 JavaStation PROM 2.x compatible re ii vgabios 0.6a-1 VGA BIOS software for the Bochs an ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages qemu recommends: ii debootstrap 0.3.3.2 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii sharutils 1:4.2.1-15 shar, unshar, uuencode, uudecode pn vde2 <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- see shy jo
