Or sometimes: chardev: opening backend "stdio" failed qemu: could not open serial device 'stdio': Success (!) So what seems to be happening here is there is an implicit monitor being set up which grabs stdio. Because: #define STDIO_MAX_CLIENTS 1 my own -serial stdio option subsequently fails. This is a regression over previous behaviour. I didn't specify a monitor device, because I don't want one, and previous versions of qemu didn't give me one in nographic mode.
