Can't reproduce on qemu.git/master (1ccbc2851282564308f790753d7158487b6af8e2) or qemu-system-x86-1.2.0-23.fc18.x86_64. I get to the OpenWRT root prompt. Please build qemu.git/master from source to verify whether this issue still exists: $ git clone git://git.qemu-project.org/qemu.git $ cd qemu $ ./configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu && make $ x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -serial tcp:127.0.0.1:4444 -hda openwrt-x86-generic-combined-ext4.img Note that if you want to connect to the serial port you should use -serial tcp:127.0.0.1:4444,server. The command-line you specified tries to connect to 127.0.0.1:4444 as a client instead of listening as a server. Thanks, Stefan
