Everything worked like a charm with zero issues. However, I've recently upgraded to the latest -STABLE as of 6.1-STABLE FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #0: Wed Jul 19 07:48:52 MST 2006 and now even the latest QEMU port doesn't work. There aren't any diagnostic messages printed to the screen, no nothing. There are no messages in the syslog or anywhere else I can find. When I fire it up using the same command qemu -localtime -hda /disk1/qemu/xp.img -m 256 -net nic -net tap the X screen blanks out (as if the monitor is turning off) for about a second, then comes back. It does this one more time, and then I'm sitting at the prompt of the xterm I launched qemu in. I've totally recompiled the port including the kqemu-kmod port so nothing is 'out of sync' there. Before I recompiled the port completely, when I fired up QEMU it would *reboot* the machine....repeatably. I thought maybe my image of WinXP that I had made and used for upwards of 5-8 weeks was "corrupted" somehow, so I started with a new image and tried to load QEMU while "booting" an XP disk to reinstall everything under this new image. Same behavior. X "blanks" comes back, "blanks" again, and then nothing. Has this happened to anybody else? Anybody got any hints on what to look for or try? I was *really* enjoying having QEMU around and miss it now .
