app-emulation/qemu-kvm-0.11.0 do not start my win7rc2. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. qemu -enable-kvm -hda win7rc2.qcow -boot c -m 2048 2. looking at the loop Actual Results: endless loop while the boot process of win7rc2: qemu-screen -> win7 -> qemu-screen -> win7 ... Expected Results: win7rc2 should start app-emulation/kvm-88-r2 worked.
I have the same issue with windows 7 final. It comes up to 'windows is loading files' and when that's done, it reboots. It worked before with kvm-88-r2 as well. Using qemu-system-x86_64 instead of just qemu does allow me to start windows 7.

it works again with this command: qemu-system-x86_64 -hda win7rc2.qcow -boot c -m 2048 no loop any more. (i only tried qemu-x86_64 instead of qemu-system-x86_64.)
Is this new package supposed to be a replacement for KVM? Because it's not compatible at all. Why was KVM deleted? None of my VMs work anymore, they all segfault with this new package.

It looks like just a debugger interface (which I guess I need now, because I have no idea why I'm getting the above segfault). Is the kvm-88-r2 still in an overlay somewhere?
I managed to get a couple of them working with qemu-system-x86_64. But the CPU or virtualized hardware change is different enough that the MS GA deactivated windows images. I haven't explored whether this causes other issues with those, or checked all of the images. I also tried qemu -cpu qemu32, pentium, pentium2, pentium3, athlon, coreduo, 486 and n270. ALL caused a segmentation fault.

Do you still have problems with "/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm" or the equivalent for the ARCH and hardware you want to use for your system?
It's working acceptably when compiled with GCC 4.3.4. Compiling with any prior version causes the segfaulting issue.
Since we cannot to much about the used binary, i will close this one. If you are, for whatever reason, forced to use some older gcc or still have problems with the qemu-system-* binaries, feel free to add a comment, so we can have a look.
