Doing some more tests and trying to get more info about the problem
shows some common behaviours:
- the problems are with the x86_64 emulation regardless if it is
running on a 32bit or 64bit host (in my case always Linux host)
- The problems happen in all qemu modes: no kqemu, user kqemu, kerne
Same happen to Suse 64 host/64 guest system (Suse 10.1). A 32-bit
guest system install quite well.
My trace shows the same symptom: Qemu seems to loop in a very tight
loop. Sometimes (using infoe registers rapidly) I can even see that
it seems to switch to 32bit mode inside the guest kernel maybe
I'm having a problem with qemu (cvs and 0.8.2) running on a 64 bit
athlon x2 with a 64 bit guest. When installing edgy in a new 64-bit
guest, the guest always freezes when installing grub on the boot
partition.
This only happens with a 64/64 system. I can run the guest in qemu (as opposed
to
