You're not providing sufficient details for the upstream community to help you, so CC'ing the Debian maintainer. "qemu" sounds rather old, it's qemu-system-i386 since several versions already. Did you check that you have sufficient RAM on your Raspi? Or disk space on your SD card / USB disk? Disk images are created sparse, and when the host runs out of resources lots of things can happen. > After I do the 2nd command, the guest os starts up , but soon consumes > 100% cpu , and then hangs.

Might or might not work for you - you don't say what you actually want to do. > Can I create this guest on a faster machine , and clone itto the Pi's > qemu that runs ARM ? Yes.
