Under v2 I just used the default config in buildrom and made sure that the ROM file from LinuxBIOS and the vgabios*.bin files were in the same directory. It hangs during the boot, but not because of the VGA. I'm looking into it more. For v3 I get the same thing you do. I started qemu with "-L BIOS_DIR hd.img" Myles -- linuxbios mailing list linuxbios@linuxbios.org http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
