Thanks Micheal, I have successfully booted this qemu image on my Debian host but failed on XP host.
On XP it hangs during boot process. Can you please tell any work around, extra parameters to qemu command to run this image on Windows? I am using following command line to start qemu with this image. $ qemu.exe -hda debian-hurd-k16-qemu.img -L . Following are the last few lines which are shown by the boot process. I hope you might get some clue from it :) Module 0: /hurd/ext2fs.static --multiboot-command .. ..... Module 1: /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec ... 2 Multiboot Modules I think servers are not starting up? Let me know if you want to see any other error logs. thanks, Touseef On Jan 3, 2008 5:39 PM, Michael Banck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > I assembled a qemu image based on the K16 mini-ISO.
