MP BIOS bug on qemu from pkgsrc-2010Q2 on i386? - no linux boots
Hi, I could get Windows XP running on my qemu-0.12.4 installed from pkgsrc-2010Q2. But none of the Linux Archlinux, Suse, Ubuntu, Frugalware I tried boots :-( They all get stuch after a few lines in the begining. Frugalware shows MP BIOS bug: 8354 not connected to IO-APIC where is the trouble? thanks :-) --Siju
