Package: qemu Version: 0.10.6-1 Followup-For: Bug #411814
I'm asking to reopen this bug because the symptoms are quite the same. I'm using the version of kqemu and dependencies from squeeze, although the base system is lenny. Trying to install debian into a qemu image using the lenny netinst disk image some parts of the installation (disk formatting and package installation) go veru slow, and eventually dumps core (segmentation fault). This only happens when using qcow images. When using images in raw format everything goes fast. I suspect this is a problem related to disk write access in qcow format. For your information, I'm creating images this way: qemu-img -f qcow lenny-base.qcow 10G and running qemu this way: sudo qemu -m 256 -net nic,vlan=1,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:51 -net tap,vlan=1 -cdrom debian-502a-i386-netinst.iso -boot d lenny-base.qcow I have tried also debian-501-i386-netinst.iso I have tried also qemu version 0.10.4-1 with same results. Having 1G memory, 2G swap and at least 20G free disk space. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=es_ES.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages qemu depends on: ii bochsbios 2.3.7+20090416-1 BIOS for the Bochs emulator ii libasound2 1.0.20-2 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libbluetooth3 4.42-2 Library to use the BlueZ Linux Blu ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libesd0 0.2.36-3 Enlightened Sound Daemon - Shared ii libgnutls26 2.6.6-1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libncurses5 5.7+20081213-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpulse0 0.9.15-2 PulseAudio client libraries ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.13-2 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii libvdeplug2 2.2.2-3 Virtual Distributed Ethernet - Plu ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii openbios-ppc 1.0-3 PowerPC Open Firmware ii openbios-sparc 1.0-1 SPARC Open Firmware ii openhackware 0.4.1-4 OpenFirmware emulator for PowerPC ii vgabios 0.6c-1 VGA BIOS software for the Bochs an ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages qemu recommends: ii debootstrap 1.0.10lenny1 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii sharutils 1:4.6.3-1 shar, unshar, uuencode, uudecode ii vde2 2.2.2-3 Virtual Distributed Ethernet Versions of packages qemu suggests: ii kqemu-source 1.4.0~pre1-2 Source for the QEMU Accelerator mo ii samba 2:3.2.5-4lenny6 a LanManager-like file and printer ii sudo 1.6.9p17-2 Provide limited super user privile -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
