Is it actually hanging, or is the guest starting up fine but outputting to a serial port which you haven't directed anywhere? The commandline is a bit odd because it doesn't set up any of: * a serial terminal * a graphical window/display * network forwarding that would allow ssh into the guest If you add '-serial stdio' do you see the guest output? thanks -- PMM
