Hi! I've tried qemu yesterday by a Windows XP (no SP-s) installation and found that the security problem does not appear when using kqemu, but appears without it.
System: Debian Sarge Qemu: 7.0 (http://packages.debian.org/unstable/misc/qemu) built from source and diff found on cited page kqemu: current version, downloaded from qemu homepage kernel: 2.6.11 with skas patch (I don't think, taht mekes the difference) Test: 1. kqemu + ~raw image (kqemu loaded) dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/hda2G.img bs=4k count=512k qemu -boot d -cdrom /dev/cdrom hda2G.img qemu hda2G.img It worked like a charm with several reboots. 2. ~raw image (kqemu not loaded) qemu hda2G.img Security problem appeared every time i tried to boot (about 3 times). The same happened when using qcow format after converting the image: qemu-img convert hda2G.img -O qcow hda2G.qcow.img I hope this information can help you fixing qemu and it becomes even better. :-) Cheers: Balint ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
