Hello QEMU world, The subject line said allready that linux-test-0.5.1.tar.gz is outdated.
But as this being my first post to this list, I can't rush in and say there needs something changed at your side, so below a IRC log that provides the details. (at the end of the message more text) 19:00 < stappers> hi, the FAQ reports: Debian has a qemu-0.7.0 package in unstable, which works. Ubuntu also has a working 0.7.0 package. 0.7.0 and all future versions _should_ work. 19:01 < stappers> are any succes reported on qemu 0.8.1 on Debian? 19:01 < blight_> i dont see any reason why it shouldnt work on debian 19:02 < allix> linux is linux 19:02 < stappers> mmm, seems I help with it. mmm, seems I need help with it. 19:04 < stappers> the error message I get is: 19:04 < stappers> SIOCSIFADDR: No such device 19:04 < stappers> eth0: unknown interface: No such device 19:04 < stappers> I do see tap0 created on the host system 19:05 < dignome> look in /etc/qemu-ifup 19:06 < stappers> AFAICS is /etc/qemu-ifup doing it's job 19:06 < dignome> ifconfig shows an eth0 interface? 19:06 < stappers> AFAICS is /etc/qemu-ifup, on the host, doing it's job 19:07 < stappers> ifconfig shows only lo 19:07 < dignome> perhaps i meant ifconfig -a ;p 19:08 < stappers> the image used is from the QEMU homepage 19:08 < stappers> ifconfig -a reveals dummy0 19:10 < dignome> hm. how is the host connected? 19:14 < dignome> stappers: people usually either bridge tap0 to an ethernet interface or set up some iptable rules and enable forwarding. 19:14 < stappers> dignome: host is a headless PIII, with a `ssh -X headlesshost` connection, i.o.w.: a X-terminal 19:14 < dignome> stappers: i mean how is it connected on the network 19:15 < stappers> I call the connection "vlan0 on TUN/TAP" 19:16 < stappers> but there is not yet a connection, there isn't even a network device in the guestVM 19:17 < stappers> my commandline is ` qemu linux.img -net nic -net tap` 19:19 < dignome> ok. the question is how are you connecting to a headless machine if it doesn't have any network interfaces other than lo? 19:21 < stappers> the headless machine is the host that is running qemu, I can ssh to it, qemu runs the linux image (but no eth0) 19:22 < dignome> ... how do you even ssh into it? what is that connection going over! 19:22 < pbrook> You mean no eth0 inside the guest? 19:22 < stappers> yes, no eth0 inside the guest 19:23 < pbrook> You need to load the guest ne2k pci (ak rtl8029) drivers. 19:23 < stappers> mmm 19:26 < stappers> the guest image doesn't contain 'modprobe', the dir /lib/modules/ is empty 19:27 < dignome> hm. i can see how things went off... should have asked about ifconfig -a specifying to run it on the *host* ;p 19:31 < pbrook> stappers: Sounds like you need to unbreak your gues OS install. 19:31 < stappers> the host has lo, eth0, sit0 and tap0 19:32 < stappers> "unbreak" as in "rebuild"? 19:32 < stappers> the guest OS image I use is from the QEMU homepage 19:33 < pbrook> Oh. That doesn't have the right ethernet drivers on it. 19:33 < stappers> :-) 19:33 < stappers> :-/ 19:33 < stappers> so http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/linux-test-0.5.1.tar.gz is obsolete 19:34 < stappers> and http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/download.html needs an update 19:34 < pbrook> Yes 19:34 < pbrook> Feel free to create a n updated image and sent it to fabrice. 19:42 < stappers> pbrook: are you sure about 19:42 < stappers> < pbrook> Oh. That doesn't have the right ethernet drivers on it. 19:43 < pbrook> Fairly sure. It only has the isa ne2k drivers. 19:43 < stappers> the kernel config has CONFIG_NE2000 and qemu monitor reports ne2000 at `info network` 19:44 < pbrook> See above. 19:44 < pbrook> ne != ne2k_pci 19:44 < stappers> mmm While editing, I wondered which "hardware" is in the Debian version of Qemu.
