So I had a look where the values in the error message could come from: 0x8001c000: is the "LMA" value of section .marker_safe_data 0x8001effc: is "Size" + "LMA" of the .bss section (0x0000312c + 0x8001bed0) So it is correct that (regarding the "LMA" value) the .marker_safe_data section collides with .bss section. But actually these sections have no "LOAD" attribute, so I would guess that their "LMA" should not be used anyway. Those section should reside at their "VMA" addresses (0x802xxxxx) during runtime but they have no data to load. Or am I getting something completely wrong? Should I give an additional option to qemu? I got this error with 2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.10 and 1.0.50-2012.03-0ubuntu2.1 I didn't get this error (but others) with 0.10.2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1429841/+subscriptions
