-serial stdio on its own is broken for me (qemu from git). The error is a little bit different, so I don't think this is the same bug: chardev: opening backend "stdio" failed qemu: could not open serial device 'stdio': Invalid argument The full command line is: $qemudir/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \ -L $qemudir/pc-bios \ -drive file=/tmp/test.img,cache=off,if=ide \ -m 500 \ -no-reboot \ -nographic \ -serial stdio \ -no-hpet \ -net user,vlan=0,net=10.0.2.0/8 \ -net nic,model=virtio,vlan=0 \ -kernel /tmp/libguestfsUnRd8H/kernel \ -initrd /tmp/libguestfsUnRd8H/initrd \ -append 'panic=1 console=ttyS0 udevtimeout=300 noapic acpi=off printk.time=1 cgroup_disable=memory selinux=0 guestfs_vmchannel=tcp:10.0.2.2:36065 guestfs_verbose=1 ' I'll look into this a bit further now.
