Package: qemu Version: 0.8.0-3 Severity: normal I have been trying to run Fedora Core 5 or 3 within Qemu. It always hangs after detecting the first harddisk. Compiling Qemu from source with either gcc-3.3 or gcc-3.4 does not solve the problem, but the pre-compiled i386 archive from http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/download.html works correctly.
If I add 'ide0=noprobe ide1=noprobe ide2=noprobe ide3=noprobe
ide4=noprobe ide5=noprobe' to the kernel line then it continues, so it seems
the problem is in the IDE detection.
I am starting Qemu as follows:
qemu -hda /srv/storage/sysimg/erebor-hda.image \
-cdrom /srv/storage/iso/fedora-3/FC3-i386-DVD.iso -boot d
