Title: QEMU freezes on startup (100% CPU utilization) Status in QEMU: New Bug description: 0.12.5 was the last version of QEMU that runs ok and boots any os image. 0.13.0-0.14.0 just freeze, and the only thing I see is a black screen and both of them make it use 100% of CPU also. Both kernels 2.6.35.11 and 2.6.37.1 with and without PAE support. tested commands: W2000: $ qemu -m 256 -localtime -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net tap -usbdevice host:0e21:0750 /var/opt/vm/w2000.img W2000: $ qemu /var/opt/vm/w2000.img OpenBSD 4.8: $ qemu -cdrom ~/cd48.iso -boot d empty-qcow2.img tried to use `-M pc-0.12` selector, different audio cards (I've found it caused infinite loop on startup once) -- no luck. tried to use recent seabios from git -- still no luck. attached strace log of 0.14.0. everything was tested on HP mini 311C with Intel Atom N270.
