qemu-char: don't issue CHR_EVENT_OPEN in a BH we had no echo by default with -nographic, and it gave the prompt when switching to monitor: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic _ (nothing is on the screen except the command line) (Ctrl+A, c) QEMU 1.5.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) _ After this patch, we now have: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic QEMU 1.5.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) _ (note the cursor position on the _next_ line after the prompt), and the system is actually in "serial port" mode, not monitor mode (you still need to hit Ctrl+A,c to switch to monitor). Thanks, /mjt
