I've been using qemu to run a Win98 guest on i386 host for about a year. On Aug.2, I installed an i386 snapshot that was a few days old. Since then, I've been running a Win98 guest on qemu-0.9.1p3 with no issues.

Sometime over the past 12 months I realised I could be running amd64 on my Core2Duo processor; so (using purchased cdrom's) I made the switch to 8.4 amd64 release over the weekend. Not sure if I did it correctly; but I did it as an upgrade, then deleted and added all packages. Seems to be working fine so far; except for some problems with qemu.

I notice that both -no-kqemu and -kernel-kqemu result in "invalid option".

Am I allowed to run a guest like Win98 on host running amd64? It seems to work ok when running a couple of apps (win & dos); as long as there is no network access.

The Win98 guest system crashes (segmentation fault, core dumped) when I access internet from the guest. This can be either accessing a website with IE or running pscp (an scp program for windows, from makers of PuTTY). Ping does not cause guest to crash.

Ping to 10.0.2.2 (host) works (time is 1ms). Ping to internet ip address results in "Request timed out". Ping to name does manage dns lookup; but still gets "Request timed out".

When the Win98 guest crashes; my mouse pointer goes with it. I'm using icewm. I manage to shutdown other apps with keyboard shortcuts; then restart X. Is there a way to get mouse pointer back?

kqemu is not installed.

I don't know what other information about this issue to include here.

I'm not sure if a dmesg is appropriate; but here it is:
