Public bug reported: The latest git version of qemu (commit 420b6c317de87890e06225de6e2f8af7bf714df0) fails to boot Nexenta3.0.1. I don't know if this is a bug in nextenta, or in QEMU or both.
You can obtain a bootable image of Nextenta from http://www.nexenta.org/releases/nexenta-core- platform_3.0.1-b134_x86.iso.zip Host: Linux/x86_64 gcc4.5 ./configure --enable-linux-aio --enable-io- thread --enable-kvm qemu-img create nexenta3.0.1 3G qemu -hda nexenta3.0.1 -cdrom nexenta-core-platform3.0.1-b134x86.iso -boot d -k en-us -m 256 Boots to grub OK, but when you hit install you get panic[cpu0]/thread=fec226c0: vmem_hash_delete(d4404690, d445abc0, 0): bad free.
