Already doing so, in fact, for testing I have stopped loading kqemu on
boot as well, just in case. The script I am using for the
windows vm is:
#!/bin/bash
export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=sdl
export SDL_VIDEO_WINDOW_POS=0,33
qemu -name "Windows 98 Second Edition" \
-boot c \
-hda /home/daniel/Qemu/windows/98se.qcow2 \
-cdrom /home/daniel/Qemu/static-images/98se/98se.iso \
-localtime \
-m 256 \
-no-acpi \
-net nic,vlan=0,macaddr='04:11:de:2a:ee:39' \
-net tap,vlan=0,script=/etc/qemu-ifup \
-soundhw sb16 \
-no-kqemu \
$* &
I have, at various times, tried without the network and/or sound
emulation, and was using sparse raw images for most trials, but tried
qcow2 to see if made a difference (it doesn't for this, though I've
decided I like it better anyway).
I am using the network with a bridge that the tapX device is
automatically added to and address assigned via dhcp (although I have
also used static IP and no bridge and used uml-utilities to assign IP
to the tapX devices in /etc/network/interfaces)
For the ubuntu I image I use:
#!/bin/bash
export SDL_VIDEO_WINDOW_POS=0,33
export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=sdl
qemu -name "Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy)" \
-boot c \
-hda /home/daniel/Qemu/ubuntu/gutsy-dfd.img \
-cdrom /srv/Archives/Libre/ISO/ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso \
-m 256 \
-no-acpi \
-std-vga \
-net nic,vlan=0,macaddr='03:53:FD:E2:AA:23' \
-net tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap1,script=no \
-soundhw es1370 \
-usb -usbdevice tablet \
-no-frame \
$* &
Though I have also tried it with -no-kqemu as well.
Regards,
Daniel
