Yep. It's because we don't have access to the chardev. Fixing that (non-hackish) needs some infrastructure work: * Make chardevs objects, link them in the qom tree. * Make chardev label a object property. * Add a chardev link to QemuConsoles (simliar to the device link we have today for gfx consoles). Then we can figure a better name in the ui. > * Booting a Linux guest is extremely slow. I see several timeouts: > err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x9a9560 "?" wait timed > out in thread 0030, Hmm. No idea. But its pretty much a blocker given that this stuff will be active on windows by default. Tried real windows too? Any chance to get a stacktrace for the place where it blocks? Maybe that gives a clue ... thanks, Gerd
