Hi! Again, interesting things are happening in the qemu development tree, among others the ncurses patch has been committed (allowing to see vga text output without sdl by passing -curses), e1000 emulation i.e. an emulated em(4) that should be even faster than the e100 since it also features TSO is now in (-net nic,model=e1000), and qemu is now moving to a new codegenerator called tcg that's supposed to eliminate the gcc3 dependency once everything has been converted to it. Unfortunately, tcg also seems to cause the first regression I've found, qemu-system-x86_64 now makes the 7.0 amd64 isos pagefault in _thread_lock_flags, even tho I've added the cpu-exec.c patch that fixes the hang of the same guests with qemu 0.9.1 (see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2008-02/msg00334.html ), I'll post a little more about that in a seperate post to the qemu list. (will crosspost to -emulation.) Anyway the update is here (also queued on tb3): http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/qemu/qemu-devel-20080302.patch enjoy, Juergen
