Running: ./virtme-run --installed-kernel
from this virtme commit: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/kernel/virtme/virtme.git/commit/?id=2b409a086d15b7a878c7d5204b1f44a6564a341f results in a bunch of missing lines of text once bootup finishes. Pressing enter a few times gradually fixes it. I don't know whether this is a qemu bug or a Linux bug. I'm seeing this on Fedora's 3.13.7 kernel and on a fairly recent 3.14-rc kernel. For the latter, cirrus is built-in (not a module), I'm running: virtme-run --kimg arch/x86/boot/bzImage and I see more profound corruption. --Andy
