Doing some more tests and trying to get more info about the problem
shows some common behaviours:
- the problems are with the x86_64 emulation regardless if it is
running on a 32bit or 64bit host (in my case always Linux host)
- The problems happen in all qemu modes: no kqemu, user kqemu, kerne
Same happen to Suse 64 host/64 guest system (Suse 10.1). A 32-bit
guest system install quite well.
My trace shows the same symptom: Qemu seems to loop in a very tight
loop. Sometimes (using infoe registers rapidly) I can even see that
it seems to switch to 32bit mode inside the guest kernel maybe
