I'm trying that now. > 2) you do not mention bios path, memory of vm and boot sequence. > I suggest you add at least the "-boot d". By default, 128M will be used > for the vm (sufficient for XP).

I mentioned the command line in my original post to the thread. qemu -boot c -cdrom /dev/cdrom -hda hd.img So it's using 128MB, and my box does indeed have 512MB. > 3) is your qemu optimized? and which version of gcc is used? I have had a look in the Debian config. The only non-standard configure option is --enable-slirp. Debian compiles qemu with -Wall -O2 -g -fno-strict-aliasing. Not sure what gcc was used, but probably 3.3. Antony _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
