I tried various combinations of fixing this problem before I wrote a
patch. The keyboard is somehow trashed and/or disabled when qemu
crashes in this manner. The methods I tried to fix it were:
1. reset - never works
2. log in remotely and reboot - always works
3. log in remotely and try various combinations of vga_reset and
fbset 800x600-56 - always works after I figured out the right order
to run the commands in.
In the end, I couldn't find any acceptable solutions without a patch,
since this is a laptop and I don't always have it connected to a
network so I can bail myself out. I apologize for the duplicate
message too, I accidently sent the last email without finishing it.

I've been using qemu using the Linux framebuffer console, on a machine
that's a bit too slow to support X. There have been more than a few
snags,
but perhaps the most irritating one was that if qemu crashed (and
received
a
SIGSEGV), it would leave the console in an unusable state. This would
require me to log into the machine via ssh and reboot it remotely.
Type reset and hit enter when this happens.
