Qemu works with OpenBSD as host and guest (both amd64), but what linux will work as guest?
Hi, Not sure if this is a ports question, or misc question, or none of the above... I am running amd64 current, and installed qemu-0.15.1p0 from ports. Following the readme instructions, I was able to boot a recent snapshot of OpenBSD (amd64) as the guest OS. Networking and x window system all work. I've then tried to install some kind of linux as the guest. After creating a virtual.img, I then try: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 200 -monitor stdio -no-fd-bootchk -hda virtual.img -cdrom debian-6.0.3-amd64-CD-1.iso -boot d The initial boot message and installer menu appears, however when I select something (eg install or graphical install) the screen then blanks indefintely, and looking at top, qemu-system starts at about 7% cpu usage, then climbs to 98% over a few minutes. I left the installer in this state for about 4 hours this afternoon, and it was still stuck on blank screen when I came home, so I don't think its just being incredibly slow. Basically the same result occurs if I try TinyCore Linux, Bodhi Linux, or Lubuntu. The "monitor" in the shell I launch qemu from just displays: QEMU 0.15.1 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) I've played around with the arguments to the above command, trying teh different -vga and -net settings, but i'm pretty sure they are not the problem. Is there a known working linux distro I could try? Or some other arguments or changes I can make so the critter will boot? I could not find anything relevant on the mailing lists or web. Also, launching as a normal user, the highest I can specify -m is 330 (with a "Failed to allocate memory: Cannot allocate memory" message), while using the above command as root, I can set -m to (eg) 2660. Is there a sysctl or other setting that will allow a higher memory allocation as normal user? Thanks, Brett.

Have you tried with an x86 linux distro and 'qemu' instead of
'qemu-system-x86_64'?
Also try booting linux with vga=normal to make sure the linux kernel doesn't
try to use a framebuffer. Maybe that will help.
> Is there a known working linux distro I could try?
OpenSUSE 11.4 works well for me as an x86 guest on an amd64 OpenBSD host
with qemu-0.15.0p1.
The install CD and the installed system only boot in 'safe' mode
though (in the boot menu, hit F5 and select 'Safe Settings').
This tweaks a huge bunch of kernel parameters. I haven't been
patient enough to figure out which one of them is causing trouble.
Below is the script I use to start the VM from CD.
I use tun networking which allows the VM to behave like any other host
on the local network. It requires a qemu/* anchor in /etc/pf.conf, and also
the line 'Defaults:YOURUSERNAME closefrom_override' in /etc/sudoers.
tun12 might not exist on your system, so create it using /dev/MAKEDEV
or use a different one.
Replace re0 with the network interface of your host.

Yes, 'ulimit -d'.
You might also have to tweak datasize-max for your user's login class
in /etc/login.conf.

A couple of weeks ago Slackware and Debian seemed to work for me. (qemu 0.13.0p1 on 4.9 amd64) If I'm not mistaken they both have a non-graphical installer. I removed the Slackware image but I remember it working fairly smooth from the command line. (I didn't install a graphical environment on either) Though I haven't really used it, I still have a Debian image around that seems to boot up fine without the black/blank screen. (If I remember correctly the black screen was there for, maybe, up to a couple of minutes, during the initial install) I used the following CD image: $ ls Debian/*.iso Debian/debian-6.0.2.1-amd64-netinst.iso and the script I use is: $ cat debian.sh #!/bin/sh qemu-system-x86_64 -no-acpi -soundhw ac97 \ -hda ~/thuis.lan/virtual/Debian/hd.img \ -net nic,vlan=0,model=e1000,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:58 \ -net user,vlan=0 Perhaps the -no-acpi parameter does the magic. > Also, launching as a normal user, the highest I can specify -m is 330 > (with a "Failed to allocate memory: Cannot allocate memory" message), > while using the above command as root, I can set -m to (eg) 2660.

Re: update: fossil-20111021125253
Sure, we can switch to the more user friendly version number. Attached
is a diff that uses the short version number for the PKGNAME.
Since the port was just updated, if the ports maintainers don't want to
apply this vanity patch, I'll included this change with the next fossil
release.

> > OpenSUSE 11.4 works well for me as an x86 guest on an amd64 OpenBSD host > with qemu-0.15.0p1. Thanks everyone for the suggestions, I have gotten OpenSUSE (32 bit) going on qemu. For the archives, steps I took that differ from/ in addition to the readme were: After creating .img file: $ ulimit -d 200 $ qemu -m 1300 -no-acpi -monitor stdio -no-fd-bootchk -hda virtual.img -cdrom openSUSE-11.4-GNOME-LiveCD-i686.iso -boot d Then when you get to the installer screen, select f4[kernel version]>safe mode; F3[graphics]>vesa Once installed and virtual disk compressed, normal booting works with: $ qemu -m 1300 -no-acpi -no-fd-bootchk -hda virtual.img then selecting failsafe mode to boot into a console (no x11) desktop. If you want a graphical desktop environment, choose failsafe mode and then delete "nomodeset x11 failsafe" from the boot arguments. Cheers, Brett.
