Package: qemu
Version: 0.9.1-7
Severity: important

I experienced various hangs with qemu. Setup is as follows:
losetup /dev/loop1  hurd.mbr
mdadm --build  --level=linear --rounding=4  -n 2   /dev/md0 /dev/loop1 /dev/hda3
qemu -m 384 -hda /dev/md0 -net nic -net tap &

hurd.mbr is a small file emulating a partition table whith the right
parameters; mdadm concatenates this and one partition to appear as a
single bloc device, and qemu uses this device as one single disk.

guest system is hurd-i486. It boots, I get a login prompt, and
programs run. Network access is through squid acting as proxy server
on the linux side. 

I experienced various hangs with no particular pattern behind them. I
reduced their probability by stopping powernowd (processor is Athlon
XP) and putting the processor at its lowest speed, but still get
somes. When it occurs, system is totally frozen, no messages
whatsoever in the logs or at the console. Only the power switch
permits to bring the computer back on. At this point, there are in
general various errors when fscking the linux partition used inside
md0. Any idea ? How to debug this ?
