Peter, yes, it is definitely different. It has been a moving target lately. May I suggest that we use a stable version of QEMU, and a stable version of LTP, and create a skiplist for such stable configuration, include it in the docs, explicitely noting used versions? We can continue doing that for each QEMU release and whatever the latest LTP would be at the moment of that QEMU release (maybe even keeping the previous skiplists - which could be useful for debugging).
