Actually it is not the same thing, and applying this path does not solve the originak issue for me, neither does updating to 1.2.0 help. But it looks like I wasn't correct with the initial diagnostic. Qemu (either 1.1 or 1.2) just sleeps for a few moments (about 2 seconds) after startup with my command line option, and I thought it is stalled. The actual problem appears to be qemu-kvm-specific, it does not affect qemu (with or without -enable-kvm). qemu-kvm -nographic -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) -append console=ttyS0 -serial pty This hangs till I send a char to the pty. /mjt
