Hello there, this is a bit off topic (well, i'm running qemu under 6.1 and installing 6.1 in the img... :) .not sure if I should email the port maintainer about this. I created an image as follows: qemu-img create -e -f qcow a.img 2GB then i start qemu : qemu -boot d -m 400 -cdrom /dev/cdrom -hda a.img It goes straight into qemu's console, i enter a HD password as requested (* chars replace everything i type). I press enter and the vm boots up as normal, i can go to Ctrl-1 and Ctrl-2 with no problem. BUT the qemu console (ctrl-2) is completely useless. everything I type still comes out as * , and there doesnt seem to be any actual response to what I type (if I type help, and press enter. I would have expected at least a whole screenfull of ******** coming up...not even that.. it seems like it's stuck in password reading mode? am I missing something ? thanks, Beto
