Hello again, after several hours of testing i found a solution for my problem. Here the command i run as root (so no ulimit problems): qemu-system-i386 -smp 1 -drive file=harddisk.qcow2,if=sd,media=disk,cache=writeback,aio=native -cdrom /mnt/usb/debian-6.0.6-i386-CD-1.iso -m 512 -k de -localtime -usb -usbdevice tablet -name debian -display vnc=192.168.1.1:0 -vga std -no-acpi -no-fd-bootchk -balloon none -net nic,vlan=0,model=e1000,name=netif_debian -net tap,vlan=0,name=netif_hosttun1,ifname=tun1,script=no,downscript=no
it is quite long because i had to test many options. the one that makes the difference on my system is -vga. if i try to start it with -vga cirrus then qemu segfaults during kernel load of linux. -vga std works fine. Hope that this may help others. 2012/12/3 Brett <brett.ma...@gmx.com> > On Mon, 3 Dec 2012 07:15:13 +0100 > Jan Lambertz <jd.arb...@googlemail.com> wrote: > > > Hello, > > I try to run a qemu linux guest ontop of my openbsd 5.1 i386.
